It would be wonderful if the possible future beatification of Margaret Sinclair was to open the floodgates in this regard. In any case, more models of holiness from the modern and post-modern period would be welcome indeed.Kennethhttp://www.secondspring.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078331897510807942.post-58457866111082981742015-03-12T04:15:14.306-07:002015-03-12T04:15:14.306-07:00Thank you, Kenneth!

I particularly enjoyed finding this quote from him: 'If the king will be to me as my predecessors were to mine, I will obey but, if he doe otherwise, and play the runneagate from God, as he and you all doe, I will not acknowledge him more than this old hatte.' May God grant us the grace to stand with such firmness and wit!Lazarushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716412032074416331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078331897510807942.post-6841447984974879702015-03-11T10:55:33.769-07:002015-03-11T10:55:33.769-07:00Alas that so much of our public discourse seems do...Alas that so much of our public discourse seems dominated by crude emotionalism and intense, but shallow, sentiments.<br /><br />Incidentally, Lazarus, I hope you were able to mark the 400th anniversary of the great St John Ogilvie SJ in some way yesterday. Even in very different times, the lessons and examples set by the saints remain ever relevant to those who strive to follow Jesus.Kennethhttp://www.secondspring.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
