Hillsong UNITED - Oceans (Where Feet may fail) radio version
A powerful song with great lyrics using imagery borrowed from St. Peter's experience trying to walk on the water to where Jesus is calling him. It has been one of the most popular Christian songs in the US this past year. The climax towards the end gives me goosebumps.

"Unsung Hero" (Official HD) : TVC Thai Life Insurance 2014
This short video pulls shamelessly at the heart strings, but who cares? I think it's absolutely wonderful and such a lesson to us all. Love is all that matters in the end.
If Christ is with me, whom shall I fear?
While reading the following text a couple of weeks ago from the Office of Readings I could not help but think of the situation being endured by today's Christian martyrs in the Middle East and parts of Africa such as Nigeria. Pope Francis has himself said that we are in the midst of World War Three and he would seem to be correct, with Christians now prime targets - powerless victims of rampant evil. A sermon by St John Chrysostom For me, life means Christ, and death is gain. The waters have risen and severe storms are upon us, but we do not fear drowning, for we stand firmly upon a rock.

Living Joyfully our lives as religious Brothers
On Saturday I spent the day in London at Heythrop College with my good friend Bro. Ben Foy (De La Salle) discussing the celebration of the Year of Consecrated Life, religious life as Brothers/brothers to all, vocation ministry, safeguarding ministry, our shared spiritual heritage, etc... We've been coming together for such sharing and discussion for about 15 yrs. now, in the past together with Bro. Michael Newman (St. John of God) who is now working in Africa. I always find our time together stimulating, encouraging and empowering. It gives me renewed confidence that it is worth persevering in my life as a consecrated Brother, that we Brothers STILL have an important role to play in the life of the Church, especially in our ministry with young people. These encounters give me hope and give me the courage to keep fighting the good fight. Bro. Ben Foy in front of Heythrop College, London.
