Here you will find reflections and musings, book reviews and travel diaries, the recording of homilies preached, and commentary on topical issues, among many other categories.

And a stop off at @[100063771844167:King’s Park] as well to visit the @[392968170809522:National Carillon] I've always found places where water and rocks come together to be profoundly peaceful... I could have stayed here for hours. Sunset looking good after Mass this evening…. The weather today is perfect… My place of prayer has been established…. "May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star: the one Morning Star who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity, and lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen." My study/sitting room is now also looking very bare… And then… In a melancholy moment, tonight I presided at my last Sunday Mass in the Cathedral before I conclude my ministry next Sunday.
