The gospel was Luke\u00a010:17-24&#8211;when the seventy come back from their first mission.<\/p>\n<p>They say to Jesus,\u00a0&#8220;Lord, even\u00a0the demons are subject to us in your name!&#8221; Did you get that? The demons were subject to the apostles<strong> in Jesus&#8217; name! <\/strong>The message hit me loud and clear.<\/p>\n<p>My blogging will only effective for conversions if it&#8217;s done in\u00a0the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not the best part! Jesus says, &#8220;Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As great as it is to subdue the demons, it&#8217;s more important that your name be written in heaven! All the blogging success in the world is not as important as you growing in relationship with God through it.<\/p>\n<p>And, if it leads you away from God, it&#8217;s really no success at all.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging takes a lot of time&#8211;for everyone. At times I&#8217;ve found myself posting instead of praying. Or, running though the Twitter feed one more time instead of doing spiritual reading or going to adoration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first lesson is, the spiritual practice of new media has to be in union\u00a0with Jesus and must contribute to your growth in holiness.<\/strong> Only then is it truly successful. And, only then can you rejoice in it.<\/p>\n<p>If new media is making you too busy to pray, you need to\u00a0re-think your schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>A spiritual blogger takes the way of charity<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The second lesson came with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinveil.net\/2011\/10\/my-interview-with-archbishop-chris.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bishop Coyne&#8217;s<\/a> homily at that Mass <\/strong>on Saturday morning. It was the feast of St. Therese of Lisieux.<\/p>\n<p>He proposed St. Therese as a model of Catholic new media spirituality. Therese is Patron of the Missions though she never left\u00a0the convent. Catholics in new media reach out to\u00a0the world, though they never leave their homes.<\/p>\n<p>In relationships, Therese always took\u00a0the way of charity. Even when it was hard. When someone was negative towards her, she returned kindness. Not\u00a0retaliation or anger.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes people leave bad comments or disagree. &#8220;I&#8217;d like to think,&#8221; Bishop Coyne said, &#8220;As Catholics in new media, we would always take the high road. The way of charity. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re often tempted to reply with equal force. But perhaps, like Therese, it would be better to show kindness.<\/p>\n<p>I can imagine a spiritual approach to blogging like the Little Way. What if every post was my small offering to God in reparation those who don&#8217;t believe?<\/p>\n<p>The work I put into it, the anxiety over whether I&#8217;ll finish in time, the frustration of not getting it right&#8230;perhaps these are things I can offer to God for those who would read my post and don&#8217;t yet know Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>A post is not much. A very small thing really. But done\u00a0with great love for\u00a0the glory of God, it could be a blessing for the kingdom.<\/p>\n<h2>Spiritual blogging is sustained by prayer<\/h2>\n<p>Then there were the talks by <a href=\"http:\/\/midsouthcatholic.com\/2011\/live-online-cnmc-2011\" target=\"_blank\">Lisa Hendey<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeisaprayer.com\/blog\/2011\/word-made-flesh-word-gone-digi\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Pat Gohn<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeisaprayer.com\/religion\/2011\/continuity-eternal-word-new-me\" target=\"_blank\">Jeff Geerling<\/a> that, in various ways, said a Catholic new media presence must begin\u00a0with prayer.<\/p>\n<p>A catechist can&#8217;t give what he\/she doesn&#8217;t have. You can&#8217;t transmit a relationship with Christ to\u00a0your students if you don&#8217;t first have one yourself.<\/p>\n<p>This is my #1 rule for success in catechesis. But for some reason, I didn&#8217;t transfer it over into my blogging. It just didn&#8217;t cross my mind.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging about Catholicism is a form of catechesis. And, done as a Catholic, it&#8217;s also a form of ministry.<\/p>\n<p>To be successful, you need to minister from an excess of grace. What I mean is, you must first be filled up\u00a0with God, before you can give him to anyone else. If you run dry, you&#8217;ll burn out.<\/p>\n<p>St. Bernard of Clairveaux said, &#8220;If you are wise, you will be reservoirs and not channels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Water flows through the channel, but none of it stays. Reservoirs first fill up, then overflow and water the fields without emptying. If done right, the reservoir is always gets replenished and never runs dry.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer is the answer to becoming a reservoir. Prayer fills up your tank with grace and allows you to give it out to your students. Regular prayer sustains you and keeps you effective.<\/p>\n<p>A spiritual blogger will have to do the same thing. With every post, you&#8217;re pouring out God to others. If you don&#8217;t fill up\u00a0with prayer, you&#8217;ll give out of your reserves and then dry up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third lesson: You can&#8217;t blog what you don&#8217;t have!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Spiritual blogging has the right motivation and intention<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The final lesson is this&#8211;spiritual new media should be about spreading the message of Jesus.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was echoed in Fr. Roderick&#8217;s opening remarks. He unveiled the new <a href=\"http:\/\/sqpngear.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">SQPN logo<\/a> at CNMC 11. The star got bigger because ultimately, for Catholic spiritual bloggers, the star is not us. The star is Jesus!\u00a0Your motivation should be to let him shine.<\/p>\n<p>Now, that might mean increasing your popularity, Twitter friend counts, Facebook likes and share, etc. But the ultimate goal is <a title=\"Evangelization Basics [Blog Series]\" href=\"http:\/\/marccardaronella.com\/2011\/01\/06\/evangelization-basics-blog-series\/\" target=\"_blank\">evangelization<\/a>. Get his message out! It&#8217;s all about intention.<\/p>\n<p>A few days before the conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/112418172370019797371\/about\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Brad West<\/a> shared a thought on Google Plus. He asked if <a title=\"The Secret of St. Paul\u2019s Evangelization Strategy\" href=\"http:\/\/marccardaronella.com\/2011\/01\/25\/the-secret-of-st-pauls-evangelization-strategy\/\">St. Paul <\/a>would&#8217;ve used the new media. His answer was yes\u00a0because it&#8217;s\u00a0the most efficient way to get the message out to the greatest number of\u00a0people.<\/p>\n<p>That really struck me\u00a0because I realized he was right&#8230;and I was wrong. When I really looked at my motivation for blogging, it was to get <strong>MY<\/strong> message out\u00a0because <strong>I<\/strong> had something to say. It wasn&#8217;t to get my message out\u00a0because Jesus has something to say&#8230;to the world!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a subtle but profound difference in that intention.<\/p>\n<h2>Spiritual blogging takeaway<\/h2>\n<p>So, that is my surprise takeaway from CNMC 11. It&#8217;s not what I expected to come away\u00a0with, but I&#8217;m very glad I did.<\/p>\n<p>The conference gave me a whole new perspective on blogging as a Catholic. It gave me a serious attitude change and renewal of motivation.<\/p>\n<p>And, on top of that, I did meet so many great digital\u00a0friends in person, do lots of networking and form new friendships.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;d say that was a serious win-win!<\/p>\n<p>Also check out posts from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncregister.com\/blog\/matthew-warner\/cnmc-2011-and-beyond\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Matthew Warner<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/begojohnson.wordpress.com\/2011\/10\/04\/friends-romans-of-the-catholic-kind-countrymen\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maria Johnson<\/a> on CNMC 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there a specifically Catholic way to be online?
