\r\n

Matthew 6: 25-34 – Dwelling on the earth with God 25 \u2018Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? 28And why… <\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

It is dark but I sing\u2019   Liturgical theopoetics and the aesthetics of the night   We live in dark times. The world is getting darker and darker. Everything seems out of proportion, lost, everything is falling apart. Is there a place for everyone under the sun? Cl\u00e1udio Carvalhaes makes a case for \u2018theopoetry\u2019 that is born \u2018in the night\u2019 and is deployed as a militant song of liturgy: to find God in a world of \u2018discarded\u2019.   Capitalism is leading the economic impoverishment of the world and neoliberalism controls the state and the laws. Fascism is a fabricated state apparatus… <\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Where do I belong? I spent few days with my family in Brazil. My main desire was to visit my 93 year old Mainha. Every time I arrive in Brazil I have an immense feeling of groundedness. As soon as I leave the airplane and feel the air something potent comes over me that makes me say \u201cWow! This is where my soul came from! Here!
