As A Syrian Refugee In Toledo Pines For His Family, A Brotherhood Forms

Mohammed Refaai, 23, is a Syrian refugee living in Toledo, Ohio, with three roommates. They see him as a brother, and since the election, worry about his family's chances of getting into the U.S.

“So we actually got a flier from Trump. And it had three big issues. I forget what the first two were, but the third one was stop the influx of dangerous refugees from Syria. It's the biggest bullet point. I was like - wow. I was like, no, I want them. We want more of them. We have one. I have one in my house right now. I could go say hi to him.”

heard this story earlier this month on the radio and i was thinking about it today in the middle of the news and the psalm at mass that said “the lord welcomes the stranger”

Mary is no substitute for the living God, no compensation for inadequate and one-sided theologies, no escape from sexuality and from the rights and struggles of her sisters. Yet, as the small, poor Galilean woman, who became the God-bearer and sang that most radical of freedom songs, she is a central figure of hope for a Church which seeks to respond to the incarnation.

In Jesus Christ, there is no distance or separation between the medium and the message: it is the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same.

marshall mcluhan, elaborating on his famous theory “the medium is the message” (mcluhan, the medium and the light, 103)

Glory be to God for dappled things –   For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;      For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;   Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough;      And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange;   Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)      With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:                                Praise him.
