I follow Fr. James Martin, SJ on Facebook. He is the author of Between Heaven and Mirth: Why Joy, Humor and Laughter are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life. He's also done some amusing blogging for the Huffington Post.Tonight he's done a really nice post on his Facebook page about the popularity of the story "Footprints", and how its very popularity causes some people to snobbishly discount this story as being insignificant. He says:
"The Holy Spirit speaks through both "high" and "low" theology, and, besides, why do we need to make such distinctions at all? I'll bet that the Beatitudes didn't sound all that sophisticated either."If you've never read the footprint story before, you should. You can read it here.
And below you will find a comic that comes into my mind every time I hear the story...
