  Ephesians 3:16-19 In-Context

  14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,

  15 from whom every familyThe Greek for "family" ("patria" ) is derived from the Greek for "father" ("pater" ). in heaven and on earth derives its name.

  16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

  17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

  18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

  19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

  20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

  21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Can Egypt’s Zabaleen Trash Collectors Save Cairo from Environmental Disaster?
Cairo is an amazing place. I lived and went to school in this city of over 9 million in the early 1990s. On top of the recent governmental conflict and unrest, it’s a city that has for a long time been devastated by pollution and environmental problems. The smog alone is a constant irritant to the senses. During my time in Cairo, one of the most dramatic and life-changing events was visiting “Garbage City.” This neighborhood is where many of...

Moving Money From One Place To Another Is Not Economic Stimulus
The Obama Administration seems to think that moving money from one place to another constitutes economic stimulus. A Washington Times editorial points this out. First, the administration is pushing food stamps, or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), as a way to get the economy moving. “I should point out,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said on MSNBC two years ago, “when you talk about the SNAP program or the food-stamp program, you have to recognize that it’s also an economic stimulus...
Do We Need To ‘Check Our Faith At The Door?’
Increasingly, Americans who adhere to a religion are told they cannot “force their beliefs” on others. Simply stating publicly that one doesn’t believe gays have the right to marry can cost you your career. Literally hundreds of lawsuits are now in motion against the government because employers do not want to be forced to violate their religious beliefs by paying for employees’ contraception and/or abortions. Richard W. Garnett ponders this topic in today’s Los Angeles Times. Garnett takes the reader...
How John Locke Influenced Catholic Social Teaching
Joe Hargrave argues that John Locke and Pope Leo XIII have more mon than you might imagine: It isn’t often that John Locke is mentioned in discussions of Catholic social teaching, unless it is to set him up as an example of all that the Church supposedly rejects. After all, Locke is considered one of the founders of a liberal and individualist political tradition that was rejected by the papacy in the 19th and 20th centuries. However, a closer examination...
The Reforming Power of Children
“All good, enduring reformation begins with ourselves and takes its starting point in one’s own heart and life,” writes Herman Bavinck in The Christian Family. “If family life is indeed being threatened from all sides today, then there is nothing better for each person to be doing than immediately to begin reforming within one’s own circle.” Such a process of reformation plex and varied, and is somewhat unique for each of us. But for the moment, I’d like to focus...

10 Things You Should Know About the Minimum Wage Debate
1. Both sides of the debate believe they are arguing in defense of the poor. Most people who support or oppose minimum wage laws and/or increases share mon objective — helping the working poor. Because both sides have noble intentions, the merits of the debate over minimum wage laws and minimum wage increases should be based on empirical evidence that it will actually help, rather than harm, the poor. 2. Economists disagree about the effects of small increases in minimum...
How to Think About Money Like the Working Poor (Part 2)
Yesterday I began a series of posts which attempts to explain why the working poor tend to make terrible financial decisions and how they think about money differently than other economic classes. In my initial post I wrote, Imagine that instead of having to deal with consumption smoothing decisions, at most, several times a year, you had to deal with them several times a month, or even several times a week. Now also imagine there is no workable solution that...
Mandela’s Vision for Ecumenical Economic Engagement
Here’s a key section from a speech given by Nelson Mandela in 1998 at the World Council of Churches: At the end of a century that has taught that peace is the greatest weapon in development, we cannot afford to spare any effort to bring about a peaceful resolution of such conflicts. Nor can we allow anything to detract from the urgent need to cooperate in order to ensure that our continent avoids the negative consequences of globalization and that...
