Life & Soul
The abbot who knows his sheep by name
One can reach an oasis of monastic calm and peace in half an hour from Waterloo
Those first Apostles must have wondered how they would manage with less
The Fifteenth Sunday of the Year
‘He came to his own, but his own did not accept him’
The Fourteenth Sunday of the Year, Ez 2:2-5; 2 cor 12:7-10; Mk 6:1-6 (Year B)
Flags at half-mast for a dear departed friend
My friend Gerry’s Vatican flag had been lowered ever since Pius XII died
A life surrendered to God becomes the instrument of a salvation that reaches beyond itself
The Solemnity of Ss Peter and Paul, Acts 12:1-11; 2 Tim 4:6-8 & 17-18; Mt 16:13-19 (Year B)
Archbishops will receive the pallium out of the limelight
The value of receiving the pallium publicly from the hands of the Successor of Peter will be lost
The Lord speaks reassurance to every troubled heart
Twelfth Sunday of the Year, Job 3:1 & 8-11; 2 Corinthians 5:4-17; Mark 4: 35-41
A dear friend who lived for the Lord
Remembering a friend who had a life-long passion for history and a deep-rooted faith
Our lives may seem unremarkable, but we bear within ourselves the seeds of faith
The Eleventh Sunday of the Year – Ez 17:22-24; 2 Cor 5:6-10; Mk 4:26-34 (Year B)
