Wisdom from Larry Chapp

 
 
 

God will break into our existence in an instant if we but let him. The bars of our immanent prison are made of spun sugar, not iron, and the realm of the transcendent is therefore but a moment’s breath away.

—Larry Chapp

from his book Confession of a Catholic Worker

JESUS IS THE ANSWER

In a cold, dying world choked by greed, the Gospel calls for radical love and radical living according to the Sermon on the Mount. Using the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Peter Maurin, and Dorothy Day, Chapp argues that the real remedy to the disease of sin is not niceness, not political liberation, not fancy liturgical dress, not technical rigor, but a free decision to live totally and joyfully in Jesus Christ, without compromise.
