There will no peace in this world, however, no true leisure- except at Holy Mass, until modern capitalism is destroyed. It is not the people who are restless, but their masters, those obsessed with wealth, who force others to create it for them. RFGA, Ph.D.
Antd as far as sleep I found a favorite Psalm 127:2 “In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat- for He grants sleep to those He loves.”
I used to teach at a 'college' whose slogan was 'An Education That Works.' I would tell my students that they should add 'Except Robert Allen's Philosophy Courses, Which Are Totally Useless And Intended To Be.' RFGA, Ph.D.
Alarm bells went off when he quotes Fr. Guardini around 44:00, about the "playfulness" of the Mass, the same Fr. Guardini who also said: “So what is the essence of the Mass?
