Thank you for sharing reflection of visit to Eastern Europe. The lives of religious are so beautifully rich, and it makes me sad to think of people (my close family members specifically) who can't or won't acknowledge how much of a difference faith can make in one's life.
Loved the Tolkien-ish essay title.
I very much appreciate your discussion series on Joseph Ratzinger.
Beautiful story and privileged opportunity given to you, to experience your Lithuanian family ties, in addition to being a guide for the Church to the portrait of the Divine Mercy in Vilnius. I understand that it easily fits as an overlay to the Shroud in Turin. It is a miracle portrait of Our Lord Jesus, as the painter is said to have painted it by verbal guidance of St. Faustina. Imagine making a painting with verbal directions of another person, and it fitting as an overlay of the Shroud, if that is the case! Dora
Truly rich and vibrant Father, thank for your help, I am not always as willing to go beyond my comfort zone. Perhaps I will have more confidence reading this story, and, escape from fear of trying, and self critical thinking. John
