“The saints want us to be with them, & we are indifferent… We must rise again with Christ, we must seek the world which is above… Let us long for those who are longing for us, hasten to those who are waiting for us, and ask those who look for our coming to intercede for us.”

I mean, are you kidding me? One of our fellow human beings, a poor Jewish preacher from a backwater town, is also actually God the Son. What incredible dignity we must have as a species! But also what condescending grace God must have!

I don't think y'all fully get it (me neither): God--as in the infinite, incomprehensible Source and Cause and Ground of literally everything that exists--became a man on this third rock from the sun because of his intimate, personal love for every human being he made.

My beloved cathedral is in terrible trouble, and I keep thinking about the elderly lady who came through the door in a wheelchair this morning to put £200 in the donation box

If you tend to enjoy when I share my poems on here, would you like to receive an occasional email with a selection of my poems? I'm working on getting a collection published, and am still submitting to journals etc, but I'd like to share my work in the meantime with some readers.

BOURDAIN: Once you’ve had acorn salad and damson cordial at Redwall Abbey you’ll never stop wanting to crush Cluny the Scourge with a bell.

My wife interviewed parents whose adult children all remained Catholic. One commonality was a father who was firm in discipline, gentle with the kids, played with them, and prayed with them.
In other words, if you imitate the Father, your kids have a better shot at knowing Him

It seems to me that every great movement of spiritual revival in the Church of England - the Caroline Divines, Methodism, the Evangelical movement, the Tractarians - has had a major emphasis on the consciousness of individual sin & the urgency of personal repentance & holiness
