There is nothing in this world that is not meant to be put at the service of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing. So I was working on a powerpoint presentation today when a friend of mine sent me this link.
It is quite challenging and I think we should encourage all of our children to take the Gospel into their chosen profession, but we should not be afraid to help our children to even consider whether the media arts are not a great way to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
For each of us to do this, we must first understand why there is nothing more important in life than to follow after Jesus Christ, to "pick up our cross and follow him daily." This is not as hard as it sounds, to understand this; to live it, now that is a different story. But if we can't understand it first, and understand it fully then we can never begin to help our children find the joy of life and the true joy of living. Let us not give up on life ourselves, nor give up on our quest for holiness, nor fail to regain this journey in the Sacrament of confession.
UPDATE: The link appears to have failed above, but here it is again: http://www.cuf.org/Laywitness/LWonline/mj08nicolosi.asp I hope you can find it!
