[Mrs. Don-o]

Barron is great as usual. Interrogate a text. Ask not just "WHAT does this mean?" but as a serious initial investigation, "HOW does his mean?"

Is this a rant? A diplomatic communique? A booklong parable? A head-spinning vision? "Last night I had the strangest dream?" A court history? A political satire? A love poem? A prison letter? A would-be suicide note? Song lyrics? And what kind of song: a marching song for the foot soldiers? A suitor's plea? Written to chastise your slutty daughters? To taunt your thuggish king? To to shame your faithless countrymen?

You can't know 'what' it means until you know 'how' it means.

[Heart-Rest]

You ought to give these kinds of talks!

You say it even better than Fr. Barron does!   :-)
