“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Taking part in the Stations of the Cross is always a moving and powerful experience. I first attended one 6 years ago, before I bent the knee, when I was still living in the US. At that time, I was going through a severe personal crisis, and derived a lot of comfort...
26 And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for...

First off, happy Ash Wednesday to one and all. This marks the start of the season of Lent, culminating in the single most important part of the year for us as Christians. When I lived in the States, I distinctly recall priests from various Catholic and Protestant...
