"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
I’ve been playing around with the graphics program Canva recently and if you’ve looked at the Restless Pilgrim Facebook page recently, you’ll have seen the fruit of this.
One of the graphics I produced has been particularly popular so I thought I’d share a high resolution version of it here on the blog, together with a printable PDF version. I’ve also made a version for the iPhone “Locked” Screen.
I just finished reading an article about one of my favourites, Blessed John Henry Newman, a famous English Anglican convert to Catholicism:
If you’re like to know more about this great man, there are a series of audio programs available online from EWTN.
The other night I had a meeting with some of the Young Adult leaders in the Diocese. We shared dinner together and were offered a reflection by a Miles Christi priest.
The evening was opened with a meditation by the recently beatified Cardinal John Henry Newman. Newman is someone I’ve like for some time. I haven’t read any of his works in their entirety (yet), but I’ve always enjoyed the excerpts I’ve come across.
One thing I’ve always admired about Newman was his single-minded determination to follow the truth where ever it lead him and to serve Christ whatever the cost…
God has created me to do Him some definite service;
He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another.
I have my mission, I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.
