Smartphones aren’t the problem—our desires are. The gospel reorders what we love, offering peace in an anxious age.
It's amazing how spot on Augustine was 1600 years ago for today! Truth is timeless.
This... "the smartphone becomes the perfect liturgy: a device designed to keep us loving the wrong things longer".... hits hard! Thanks for writing and for giving some perspective on the always difficult parenting challenges.
I love that you quote two of my favorites: Augustine, and that beautiful poem: 'fall in love. stay in love. and it will decide everything.'
although, since it's my favorite, I must point out: the author is actually Joseph Whelan, SJ.
