We often try to stand taller or reach higher, but bending low we are lifted up.Greghttp://tamingthewolf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-65846694739873457432012-03-08T09:33:43.484-05:002012-03-08T09:33:43.484-05:00Thanks for the encouragement!Thanks for the encouragement!Brother Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780326836452864455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-44987914963480532752012-03-08T09:19:08.672-05:002012-03-08T09:19:08.672-05:00Fr.

Reading your last three posts reminded me of this line: "The religious history of each individual is as solitary and complete as the history of the world." This is in John Henry Newman's sermon "Steadfastness in the Old Paths" excerpted in John Hulsman's The Rule of Our Warfare: JHN and the true Christian life. Hulsman's excerpts are sending me back to Newman's Parochial and Plain Sermons (the one-volume-containing-8 by Ignatius Press is excellent, indexed, and lists all the Scriptural references) an absolute gold mine of practical Christian thought and perspective. Hulsman's book is a good introduction to Newman's thought. Newman's healthy moderation and roundedness often reminds me of you.jdmcculloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16991041531807247116noreply@blogger.com
