God is not a far-off Weaver of the web, like the earlier Watch-maker God, who assembled creation and left it to run on its own. No, God is part of the web, entangled right here with us.

β€œBut we do not merely protest; we make renewed demand for freedom in that vast kingdom of the human spirit where freedom has ever had the right to dwell:the expressing of thought to unstuffed ears; the dreaming of dreams by untwisted souls.” --W.E.B. DuBois, born on this day in 1868

β€œThe really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.” --the late writer David Foster Wallace, born 2/21/62

Pope Leo XIV on "structures of sin" today:

β€œSin, of course, is personal, but it takes shape in the real and virtual environments we frequent, in the attitudes we use to influence one another, often within actual 'structures of sin' of an economic, cultural, political, and even religious nature.
