An invitation

To evangelize the peripheries, to bring Christ to the dark places of the world and to the dark places of our hearts, we must grow accustomed to visiting the peripheries, even of living at the periphery. A missionary must live where he evangelizes. He must know the land, the people, the culture, and the beliefs of those he encounters, in order to effectively proclaim the great treasure of his heart to those whom God has entrusted to him. We are all missionaries: in the home, in the office, on the playing fields, in the laboratory, at the university, on the streets--everywhere. This blog is an invitation to live on the periphery--to live on the edge of things, to journey to the eschata. To journey into the heart of Christ, who is the Beginning and the End, the outer limit of being. To be an ordinary radical, a contemplative in the midst of the world. This is Catholicism on the edge.
