Is Time running Out?

 

Aristotle: time is the measure of motion, not a thing in itself.



Painting by Gretchen Merkle

CREATION CONTINUES EVEN WHEN NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBERS OF TIME

Is there any hope?

Julian of Norwich:  "It is necessary that sin should exist, but all will be well, and all will be well, and every manner of thing will be well.”  

Thomas Aquinas links hope to trust because trust “furnishes a certain vigor to hope.  For this reason, it is the opposite of fear, as is hope.”

 Matthew Fox:  Trust and magnanimity revitalize us with energy and enthusiasm for good and great tasks that in turn bring about hope.  [p. 96-7, Julian of Norwich:  Wisdom in a time of pandemic and beyond, by Matthew Fox, 2020.]
