"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
Last week I was interviewed on the Forte Catholic radio show by Taylor Schroll and Fr. Anthony “I’m going to blow up the moon” Sciarappa. I’ve embedded the audio below, but you can also find it on the Forte Catholic website. My segment begins at 19:27.
We talked about what it means to be a Restless Pilgrim, why it’s great being English and why everyone should read C.S. Lewis. Enjoy!
“None of us feels the true love of God till we realize how wicked we are. But you can’t teach people that – they have to learn by experience”
Dorothy L. Sayers
Today we take our first steps into Heaven! The bus in which Lewis had been travelling alights in a new country and the passengers take their first tentative steps into this strange land…

Today’s song is “Even Then” by Micah Tyler:
On the nights when the dark last a little bit longer
When the wind and the storm is a little bit stronger
When the fear in my heart dips a little bit deeper
When my faith to stand gets a little bit weaker
Where could I run to?
Where could I go?
Even when it feels like my world is shaken
Even when I’ve had all that I can take
I know
You never let me go, whoa
And even when the waters won’t stop rising
Even when I’m caught in the dead of a night
I know
No matter how it ends
You’re with me even then
When the days up ahead look a little bit brighter
But the grip of the past holds a little bit tighter
I’m reminded Your grace never asks for perfection
Oh I’m restored ’cause I’m Yours and I stand forgiven
And even in the middle of a struggle
And even when it’s hard to remember
You alone are my defense when
I’m standing on Your promises and I know
That even in the thick of the battle
And even through the valley of the shadows
You alone are my defense when
I’m standing on Your promises so
