You cannot have it all

Some things are mutually exclusive.

"Choosing a life of drinking, drugs or sexual promiscuity will necessarily exclude purity, nobility, stability, inner-strength, a conscience at peace, and a life throughout marked by good or even great deeds."

Dr. Peter Kwasniewski

Work the soil

Our Lord explains in the Parable of the Sower that the seed of His love will only grow in a certain soil--and that is the soil of Christain Culture, which is the work of music in the wide sense, including as well as tunes that are sung, art, literature, games, architecture--all so many instruments in the orchestra which plays day and night the music of lovers; and if it is disordered, then the love of Christ will not grow. It is an obvious matter of fact that here in the United States now, the Devil has seized these instruments to play a danse macabre, a dance of death, especially through what we call the "media," the film, television, radio, record, book, magazine and newspaper industries. The restoration of culture, spiritually, morally, physically, demands the cultivation of the soil in which the love of Christ can grow, and that means we must, as they say, rethink priorities.
