Fr. José Medina talks with me about attention. What makes certain words move people? Fr. Medina says, after St. Augustine, that you will not learn anything you do not love. We begin by talking about cultivating attention as a habit of mind, and our conversation goes from there to all kinds of places: our classes, fasting, love, various gospel readings, the archetypal hero, Luigi Giussani, Simone Weil, Sherwood Anderson, and poetry.
