This week’s Angelus News column is about the C.S. Lewis essay, “The Abolition of Man.”
If you’ve been following along, you know I have launched a new Substack: DESIRE LINES: BOOKS I LOVE.
Here’s a complimentary post, free to all, called Bring Back Betty MacDonald!
From hereon in, most posts will be available to paid subscribers only.
I’m very excited about sharing my love of books, and hope you’ll come along for the ride!
GOD AND MAMMON
“You remember some of the “harsh” sayings of our Lord: Let the dead bury their dead, Unless a man hate his father and his mother, Sell all thou hast: what are they telling you if not the same thing: you cannot serve God and Mammon, you cannot be at the same time a Christian and a self-complacent egoist, you cannot claim to follow Christ if you give only half of yourself to Christ. There is no way to life except through death and re-birth: that re-birth in the Spirit means a full surrender of will, through love, to the will of the Spirit.”
–Gerald Vann, OP, The Pain of Christ
