My good friend MaryEllen went to Brazil for a month as part of a university study-abroad program. She’s been learning Portuguese, having actuall lived in Portugal for a year, and decided to take advantage of this great opportunity. By all accounts it was a great trip, if  a little harried sometimes, and she seemed to dig it.

She’s also a really good amateur photographer, with a fantastic eye and a great sense for composition. She took some fantastic pictures while she was down in South America, and has graciously allowed me to share a few of them. I call these a “visual catechism” based on a proposed project we’ve been discussing; go ahead and take a look! You’ll see what I mean.

Superman is a Saint

If Superman represents the greatness contained in all men and women, written upon our hearts by the very God we seek to serve, then we represent that that very greatness can be attained by anyone, that it is a fundamentally human goal, and indeed, is the very reason each and every one of us is here. John Paul II, another superhero, once wrote to our generation "Never settle for less than the moral and spiritual greatness of which you all are capable." Let's take those words to heart, and live our lives, in Christ, the very source and inspiration for us, who is indeed the greatest hero of all.
