Meditation on Hope

As per Eric's suggestion, I started getting into the TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) podcast lately.  It is truly brilliant stuff.  Beautiful lectures from amazingly gifted and influential people.

This talk, A Meditation on Hope, really struck me and moved me.  

This seemingly agnostic surgeon and author really speaks in the language of God and hits on what I think are fundamental tenets of the faith.  I guess it really makes me pause that he really doesn't seem to associate any of this with the life of faith, the life of the healing, loving, hopeful body of Christ.  

What have we allowed our reputation to become?  How did we become this absent in the world?

This is 12 minutes well spent, and the accidental homily of the year,

thanks Eric.
