One of my favorite photos I’ve taken is not the most compositionally beautiful, but it captured one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen.

The footprints at St. Pauls Cathedral…

At the base of the high altar there are foot prints in the marble. This little piece of carved out marble is from the hundreds, or possibly thousands of priests that have offered the most sacred sacrifice there. The footprints of priests that walk back to Calvary everyday. They come to offer the mass of the saints, the mass of our fathers, the mass of ages. The testimony of this is the footprints in the marble…

But for me this image is also heartbreaking. The footprints are empty. They are no longer filled by the walk to Calvery but filled alone with hope. Hope that one day in our lifetime we may see the footprints in the marble filled once again by priests allowed to walk with Christ without restrictions,

Making deeper imprints in the marble.

I’m forever going to be posting pictures from this day. I can’t pick a favorite. The way that they look at each other is the way I imagine Christ looks at us. Pure love.

“He comes to quicken joy and confidence in my heart by his embrace. He comes to support my tottering steps; to let me lean on his omnipotence; to make me feel in all my weakness that underneath the everlasting arms. He comes to help me towards the noble end for which she created me, to make me worthy of the vocation, in which I am called, a vocation, not only to praise, revere and serve him, but to praise him eminently, to revere him eminently, as all are not called to do—to praise, revere, and serve him perfectly. For this, I need a strong grace. To bring it, the great God quits heaven, and comes to me

He comes to renew in my soul, the fruits of his redemption; to hear the renewal of my vows, my promises, my desires; to unite me intimately with himself, that, according to his promise, I may live by him, that he may be to me the pledge of life, that he may raise me up to the last day.
He comes to take possession anew of what was his from the beginning, to sanctify anew his sanctuary, and make it a holy of holies, the presence chamber, the dwelling place of God, consecrating anew to his service, my body with all its senses, my soul with all its powers, uniting himself now in a way so intimate that he alone can comprehend it, to prepare me thus for the union he designs for me in the life to come.”
-from Confession and Communion by Mother Mary Loyola

I don’t know why, but today, more than ever before the words” his blood be upon us and our children” struck me hard.
The blood of the Lord upon our children… God in His mercy redeems. Even this. In repairing for our many sins that Crucify Him. We come before His feet for forgiveness and He redeems us with His Blood. The prayer repeated in my head for the rest of mass “Lord please, your blood on me and my children.” Not in the way of the pharisees.Rather, the way the Israelites did in of Egypt. That blood set them apart and testified to their faith.

The blood of the Lamb.

His Most Precious Blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. Without that blood we cannot stand before God.

Mary is covered in the blood of Christ. She holds his broken body. With her at the foot of the cross we too are covered by it.

Be mindful, oh Lord, of thy creature whom thou has redeemed by thy most precious blood

St. John Chrysostom said “When a husband and wife are united in marriage they no longer seem like something earthly, but rather like the image of God himself.”

I get to witness to that every wedding.

God himself, so present, so tangible.

And the couple, promising to die to themselves so that they both may serve Love who is Christ himself.

For a brief moment every wedding it seems It is no longer the couple professing to love each other but Christ professing his love to the church…
To us…

You know when you meet a couple and you can’t help but be in awe because you see Christ so clearly in them? That’s Chris and Reagan. It’s clear when they look at each other and when they interact with others they love with the Love of Christ. It was nothing short of a gift to capture their day.

How fitting that this year Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine’s Day .

How fitting it opens a season of dying to self.

How fitting it is a time in pursuit of he who is love itself.

How fitting that today is a day to remember that we are dust and to dust we will return but also that we were made from dust in the very image of love.

How fitting that this day begins a season where we are taught over and over the lengths love will go for the beloved.

What a beautiful Valentine’s day

Photos from Christmas Midnight Mass.

Behold he has come, Christ the son of Mary.

Who are we that he should come? We have done nothing to make us worthy of salvation. Not only have we done nothing but what we have done merits abandonment instead of salvation. But he came. In the humblest of ways he came. Born at midnight in Bethlahem in piercing cold. He came to die so we may live. There are no words for that miracle

In him was life,and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness,and the darkness has not overcome it. John 4-5
Something about these words from the Last Gospel feel so fitting as advent draws so quickly to a close. The light has come, in it alone is life. That light shines in the darkness and the darkness can not over come it.
