My Favorite Thing About NYC
There are churches everywhere! And whether they look like this:
Granted, the lighting wasn’t great, but there’s not much you can do with seafoam carpeting and cinder block walls.My friend Amanda likes this window. But what about those metallic squares to the right? Can you see those? Nobody could like those.
or like this:
I love the altarpiece.
Check out the Joyful Mysteries in this window!
what matters is this:
15 years after my conversion, seeing this candle lit somewhere I wasn’t expecting it still gives me a thrill.
Because he was present among stalls and he’s present among cinder blocks. What a blessing to step from the empty noise of the street into the eloquent silence of his presence.
1st church: Nativity in Manhattan; 2nd church: St. Thomas Aquinas in Brooklyn–just your generic NYC neighborhood church. I swear, sometimes it’s like being in Rome!

I'm a Catholic, madly in love with the Lord, His Word, His Bride the Church, and especially His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist. I'm committed to the Church not because I was raised this way but because the Lord has drawn my heart and convicted my reason. After 2 degrees in theology and 5 years in the classroom, I quit my 9-5 to follow Christ more literally. Since May of 2012, I've been a hobo for Christ; I live out of my car and travel the country speaking to youth and adults, giving retreats, blogging, and trying to rock the world for Jesus.
