"My Lady!"

Everything is holy, and the church, which happens to be stuck in the good creation, is holy, just like everything else. Why is the church in being? To point to everything and every moment as significant and full of wonder. To dramatize creation's everlasting goodness. “You are holy!” is its message.

Don Quixote is being the church when he bows before the whore, Aldonza, and calls her “My Lady.” And guess what. It changes her life. ~jpc, “New Evangelism,” 1973

O, to bear good tidings to all. Namaste.
