Catholicism, holiness and spirituality: The best ideal is the truth

Miscellany

About Me
My name is Steve Bogner, a 40-something husband and father of two boys in Cincinnati, OH. Extremism - whether conservative or liberal or whatever - is something I try to avoid. The world isn't perfect, the truth is usually in the middle, and things are rarely as simple as they seem.
About My Blog
This is a moderate, Jesuit-flavored Catholic blog. I'll write about Catholicism, holiness and spirituality along with a bit of politics, social justice and Catholic mystics. I'm not an expert in any of these, but if you like reading about them, then this is a place to do that.

The best ideal is the truth

Summa

The best ideal is the truth
And other truth is none.
All glory be ascribed to
The holy Three in One.

Man is most low, God is most high.
As sure as heaven it is
There must be something to supply
All insufficiencies.
For souls that might have blessed the time
And breathed delightful breath,
In sordidness of care and crime
The city tires to death.
And faces fit for leisure gaze
And daylight and sweet air,
Missing propserity and praise,
Are never known for fair.

Gerard Manley Hopkins
