The Biblical renewal of the past years has led to an awareness of Scripture among the Catholic laity they have not had for centuries. Priests, too, have benefited from this development and perhaps, equally from reading the Office in one of the excellent translations. These 11 talks contain much material to stimulate a renewal of their attitudes to the Breviary, the Psalms, and to their ministry.

I’ve been shouting “Good morning sunshine”, obnoxiously, since I was a small child - always seeking joy, light and positivity. But when my youngest of 4 children was diagnosed with a rare & incurable cancer, blood & immune disease at the age of 1 1/2… My followers were certain they would catch me in the act of “faking” my happy.
