Saul shifted directions when his sight returned after a few days. Who wouldn't? He began to preach the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. The change in him was so radical he preached the gospel even inside synagogues! Clearly, these were Jewish holy territories, definitely off-limits to evangelizing Christians. Paul's gumption incurred the hatred of his fellow Jews who drove him out of the city. Isn't it ironic that it was this Jew who had brutally killed early Christians thereby quashing newly-formed groups of budding Christians?

She writes for Voices, and she's on EWTN a lot. I really love her. A British lady who is a faithful, practicing Roman Catholic. Which is a good description of England herself, before that Protestant violence. Schama says England was "at peace with her Catholic soul".
I found a little booklet by them in the Adoration Chapel at Holy Redeemer yesterday. The booklet had some special prayers I'd never seen before, including, The Litany of the Lost. It's really beautiful. It covers many things that resonated strongly and deeply for me.
Beautiful Website, with an associated blog. The shrine and chapel are in Ellicott City, Maryland. Doesn't Mom have some kind of association with Ellicott City?
