Everything *IS* about Jesus

I really need to start posting more about theology, if for no other reason than to focus on something that can help me keep an even keel amongst all the mental/emotional funks that I get into from time to time (and which I’m deep into right now).

FatherDMJ passes along some very good stuff from Rev. Fr. Peter Berg, in his recent entry Everything is About Jesus — a sample:

“Some (many?) of our people think that church is all about them. Therefore they need to be recatechized in the truth that nothing will be about them until everything is about Jesus. And it’s not only about Jesus but about all the things that are about Jesus. You see, if it’s all about Jesus, then it will be about his sacraments, and if it’s about the sacraments, then it’s about the liturgy (for you can’t have sacraments without liturgy), and if it’s about liturgy, then it’s about music (for you can’t have a decent liturgy without music), and if it’s about music, then you need to learn Gregorian chant, and if ti’s about your chanting, then it’s about the Office of the Holy Ministry, which, of course, is all about Jesus (that’s why you’ve got to get a chasuble).”

Yup, that’s the good stuff…
