Musk isn’t your friend. At best he’s not interested in suppressing your voice. There’s a difference.

Musk ?? . . have always loved the look and strength and hairy warmth
of the massively-horned ARCTIC MUSK OX!
My favourite SCENT of deodorant during my young-man years was MUSK.
. . but I haven’t used any smells and spices for half a century.
ELON MUSK ? . . let’s pray to digital “Whiz-Kid” BLESSED CARLOS ACUTIS
. . to have a talk with Mr. Musk’s Guardian Angel, for purposes of Catholic
enlightenment and persuasion.
“Behold Jesus Christ Crucified, who is THE ONLY FOUNDATION
of our hope. He is our Mediator [ . . his Mother our Mediatrix ]
and advocate, victim and sacrifice for our sins. He is goodness
and patience itself. His mercy is moved by the tears of sinners
and He never refuses pardon and grace to those who ask it
with a truly contrite and humbled heart. ”
—St. Charles Borromeo
Will “listening” —and nothing BUT “listening”, synodal listening
—bring us back to the Eucharistic Jesus ? FOR SURE it will,
if our listening is FRIST done before the SILENCE of the
Tabernacle, or in THE STILLNESS of His meditated Word.
I’ve just finished reading quite a number of “tweets” in
that BOTTOMLESS run of tweets! Seems to me that
most come from, and address, the “top 3 inches of our
head”. Few from the heart. Fewer still from head-and-
heart. The furthest thing from true conversation. So
often we’ve witnessed —haven’t we? —two people
standing RIGHT NEXT to each other, “glued” to their
electronic device, where one of them says, “Text
me”, instead of lowering the dam things and actually
conversing. We’ve become passionately addicted to
“the dam things”!
St. Charles Borromeo assumes the penitent presents
him/her self IN PERSON before “Jesus Christ
Crucified” . . where I do “listening” (worthy of the Name)
and He does all the “talking” . . without words. And
sometimes the REALITY of the Crucified SAVIOUR
breaks in, disarms us, and penetrates our dried-up
hearts with the Love which, up ’til that moment,
remained hidden (and imprisoned, because of our
hardness of heart) in His Most Sacred —yet fully
human — Heart.
