I am sorry that there are so
few postings for such a long time. I often get the urge to write a post but to
be honest, the first obstacle to writing any posts was that they would probably
be so negative in these days of scandal and self-destruction of the Church that
they would not edify the reader or the writer. A second reason was that, as regular
(or once-regular) readers of the blog will know, I developed some serious
health issues over the last 12 months, and I don’t think it is good to blurb
about them on a blog which is not meant to be a personal diary but a commentary
on things Catholic.
That said, I do feel ashamed of
the fact that I have not contributed anything to the Catholic blogosphere for a
long time now, so I have tried to come up with a way of contributing to
Catholic life without contributing to its self-destruction or my own
ill-health. If I can I will post some short reflections on the Sunday Mass readings,
so that I am at least offering some kind of spiritual food to Catholics. I may
write on other topics as the notion takes me, but no promises… one such topic
has been requested: what kind of things did I say in homilies at weddings and
funerals that I might be able to share? What will come first I do not know; reflections
on the Sunday readings or the homilies for weddings and funerals. Maybe not
knowing will bring you here again...
