I picked up some non-Catholic intellectual books today and eventually later made a remark to my wife that I constantly needed to find refuge in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas to address pressing modern day issues, particularly postmodernism.
I plan to read Foucault on power/knowledge in the next few months. A prayer surged from my lips to Our Lord, "Lord, this is hard." I turned to Him for help.
During my drive home later, I prayed joyful mysteries of the rosary (in addition to the family rosary). When I got to the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple, I experienced peace as I turned my meditation to the Child Jesus teaching the doctors of the Temple.
I thought of how the Incarnate Wisdom of God was present in the Temple among the doctors of the law and how He taught them and amazed them.
I thought of how all wisdom and learning was in this Little Child. It gave me much peace.
HERE, btw, is a good article on post-modernity with pastoral consideration.
Child Jesus, have mercy on us!
