Pilgrimage & Penance
Pilgrimage & Penance
As he placed it on his shoulder, he suddenly felt an incredible weight pressing down on him. It was revealed to him that this was the weight of his own sins only. As he walked the way of the cross, it was so difficult that he fell and struggled with it; the other pilgrims thought he was play-acting as he collapsed at the end in complete exhaustion

Nature's Pharmacy
Nature's Pharmacy
What struck me very strongly, was that, laying undiscovered is a vast medicine chest locked into the vegetation of the earth, waiting for us to find. Like gold and silver that are hidden in the mountain sides, natural cures to diseases are contained in the earth’s plant life.

A Thought in the Eternal Mind Of God
St Therese of Lisieux made sanctity available and within reach for all with her discovery of the ‘Little Way’ where every moment of life, pleasant or otherwise, could be sanctified and translated into an act of love by dying to oneself and going against our nature or ‘natural’ responses.

Identity Crisis
Identity Crisis

Stephanus Antonious
A couple of years ago my dad surprised me with a story I had not heard. It was about my Baptism. Apparently I was Baptised in Latin, so strictly speaking my name is not Stephen Anthony but Stephanus Antonious. It has a nice Gladitorial ring to it ; which explains a lot.
