Catholic Scot: Seeing God, Making God Visible.
http://catholicscot.blogspot.com/2015/04/seeing-god-making-god-visible.html
Thursday, 23 April 2015. Seeing God, Making God Visible. The saints are the true interpreters of holy Scripture The meaning of a given passage of the Bible becomes most intelligible in those human beings who have been totally transfixed by it and have lived it out. The organ for seeing God is the heart. The intellect alone is not enough. In order for man to become capable of perceiving God, the energies of his existence have to work in harmony. What does that mean exactly? Thursday, April 23, 2015. The K...

Catholic Scot: Centering Prayer: Some Reflections
http://catholicscot.blogspot.com/2015/04/centering-prayer-some-reflections.html
Thursday, 30 April 2015. Centering Prayer: Some Reflections. An Old Woman Praying. Some Christians think that Centering Prayer is an invaluable way to deepen their spiritual lives, others think that it is the work of the devil and many more have never heard of it. For the benefit of the latter I shall briefly summarise it based on this leaflet (pdf. 1 Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God’s presence and action within. On the subject of choosing the 'sacred word'-. Which i...

http://cyber-coenobites.blogspot.com/2015/08/and-mac-shall-inherit-earth.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. And the Mac Shall Inherit the Earth. Announced by Archdruid Eileen. There is much upset on the wires about a Mail cartoon by Mac suggesting that Cilla Black, at the Pearly Gates, is being held up due to thousands of "illegal immigrants" trying to get into the Kingdom. I'm not gonna link to it. They've got enough clicks today. But I will point out the following. Jesus said " the first will be last and the last first. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of hea...

http://cyber-coenobites.blogspot.com/2009/12/goodbye-to-choir.html
Tuesday, 29 December 2009. Goodbye to the Choir. Announced by Archdruid Eileen. An odd little episode, was the Beaker Choir. Clearly we had to do something. You can't have some out-of-control maniac running around the place pushing people around and not listening to anyone else. Correction. You can only have one of those. And it wasn't going to be the choir master. I'm still a little baffled. It's one of those mysteries of the universe. Where do choir masters come from? So there they all were, squeaking ...

Sunday, 2 August 2015. Announced by Archdruid Eileen. I am the bread that gives life. He who comes to me will never be hungry. He who believes in me will never be thirsty. (John 6:35). Bread isn't really that special. When getting ready for a party, we rarely ask ourselves "what sort of bread shall we order? But I can still remember that bread - ordinary as it was - today. Moist, white bread. Eaten with a loving family. Holding together all the stuff we didn't normally eat. Oh, yum. Bread." Potat...The t...
