A good Sunday

Things went nicely today. The sermon started coming together on Saturday night, and I finished in the morning. Ended up talking about the notion of spiritual humility. It was a nice chance to tie together themes of sacramental theology and spiritual development. Also took an apropos detour through the land of homiletics. I spoke of how preaching must primarily must be sacramental, not pedagogical, in character. Karl Rahner was helpful in this, though he himself thought that "even really existential" preaching would fail to be as "sacramental" as the actual Sacraments. Here is the best picture of dude I can conveniently find.
