Watching the Whirlwind Cultural Commentary From a Catholic PerspectiveThose eyes wherewith men see the dead in heart rise again, all men have not, save those who have risen already in heart themselves. St. AugustineAnd he who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. Revelation 2. When I was first coming into the Church, I was listening to a lot of Catholic radio. One of my favorite shows was Mother Angelica Live. One show in particular I will never forget. Mother Angelica was talking about how new converts often initially approach their conversions with a nonchalance that betrays total ignorance of the true magnitude of the process. They think to themselves, This is no big deal, I can just stop doing this bad thing here, and start doing that good thing there, and voila My life will conform to Church teachings, and Ill be a good Catholic. That, she said, was like thinking that allowing Christ into our lives would only require a smidge of redecorating within the houses of our hearts.

Well, that scared me a little. But I optimistically reassured myself that I was prepared for, and willing to accept, whatever God might wish to do with me. And besides, I thought, how bad could it possibly be                         hen I began catechesis in 2. Id co written with my boyfriend of six years had just wrapped. Id been an aspiring writer for agesin fact, I had gone to college and graduated with honors with a degree in that discipline. My boyfriend and I had already written two screenplays prior to the short, and the fact that wed successfully filmed our third effort seemed like a major victory. It felt like we were quite possibly on the precipice of something big, career wise. My boyfriend and I had seen each other through some very dark times. He stood by me through some intense, painful trials, and hed shown me unqualified forgiveness for some downright rotten things Im deeply ashamed to have done to him. We were battle tested, and he was, without question, the proverbial love of my life. We were so much alike in worldview that I could not understand why he seemed to have no interest in joining me as I entered the Church. This was an institution that had formalized in doctrine virtually everything we already believed, and added to it the structure of indescribably beautiful ritual. Whats not to love about that I couldnt fathom his apathetic disinterest. And I cant overstate how arduously, intricately, and often I tried to explain to him why coming into the Church was the logical next step for people like him and me. How it was the missing ink that would connect the dots between the whats and wherefores of our lives. How it could cure what ailed us on an existential level, and provide meaning to the seemingly mundane. But for the very first time since the day we met, talking to him was like talking to a brick wall.

He admitted that he liked me better since Id decided to become Catholic, that he felt it had made me a better person. But as for him He couldnt be bothered. Jesus recorded in scripture, points out that there are two types of deathvisible and invisible. The former concerns the body, the latter the soul. He notes that, while we are all capable of perceiving physical death, death invisible is neither enquired into nor perceived. Analogously, Augustine asserts that only those who have risen already in heart themselves are capable of perceiving the resurrection of heart which Christ can perform upon the spiritually dead. In opening my eyes to the truth of Catholicism, God had resurrected my heart and soul, which had indubitably been dead for a protracted period as a result of my uncommonly un virtuous life. Equilibrium Sagas Flac' title='Equilibrium Sagas Flac' />And, although my boyfriend could perceive changes in my outward disposition and behavior consequent to that spiritual rebirth, he, not having already risen in heart, could not perceive the true scope of my transformation, and no amount of eloquence or explanatory elocution on my part could awaken his heart. Only God can resurrect the dead. So I was forced to accept phase one in the great renovation project Christ had in store for me by walking away from a man I still loved with my whole being, with whom Id planned to spend the rest of my life. It hurt like hell, and it was just the beginning. I have rheumatoid arthritis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a genetic disorder that results in faulty collagen, which of course, is found all over the body, and, consequently, causes a wide range of symptoms. Over the course of that year, I dwindled down to 1. Id lose large clumps of hair virtually every time I took a shower. I vomited, or came darn close to doing so, between bites one and three of pretty much every meal. I experienced fatigue so oppressive that I felt like I was constantly swimming upstream against a river of murky molassesindeed, it was so bad that I couldnt drive longer than half an hour without having to pull over for a 1. And I sat helplessly by as my arthritis spread from my knees and spine, where it had been more or less confined for years, into my hands, fingers, hips, feet, and toes. I was in pain every moment of every day. After about a year of this, I had a phone conversation with my maternal grandmother. Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit Utilities.

My grandmother and I talked on a regular basis, but this conversation was different she asked me to come home. My grandmas house had been my refuge growing upwhen life with my alcoholic, drug addicted mother and her violent, psychotic boyfriend had become unbearable, my grandma had taken me in. So when she asked me to come back, I packed up the accumulated trappings of my 1. San Francisco area, and headed quite unwittingly into the next phase of my spiritual renovation. Once I arrived in Oklahoma, the heavy demolition began. Id really had it in Californiahow spiritually spoiled Id beenuntil I returned to the site of the worst years of my life. In California, I was accustomed to having a close knit, socially active Latin Mass parish and my spiritual director nearby. I had countless Catholic friends a phone call away to whom I could reach out for moral support, companionship, or help with just about anything under the sun. For crying out loud, my parishs altar servers packed up and prepared my boxes for my cross country relocationand I think that was the third time theyd helped me move. I was incredibly well cared for. When I got to Oklahoma, the nearest Latin Mass parish was over an hour away by car, and spiritual direction was not available. There seemed to be no real parish community life to speak ofprobably because virtually everyone who attended Mass there had to drive a significant distance to do so. Long story short, I couldnt seem to find a place there for myself. Even as the weeks and months wore on, I felt like a perpetual outsider. Daily life was a PTSD nightmare punctuated by a sequence of catastrophes. When Id lived there as a child with my mother, we had moved at least 2 3 times a year.
