Francis made the lives of ordinary people …his central focus. He did this not because he was a ‘nice’ person (like any of us, he wasn’t always ‘nice’), but because he believed profoundly that the way of Jesus Christ is to live a life for and with others. www.stpauls.co.uk/pope-francis

@pipofsuffolk.bsky.social hi can you add me please?

“To begin anything….is to cast upon yourself a spell against stagnation. Beginnings are notation for the symphony of the possible in us. They ask us to break the pattern of our lives and reconfigure it afresh.” John O’Donohue Happy New Year! Xx

So I have a question. I met someone today who said to me ‘you aren’t as old as I thought you’d be’ What is the correct response to this? Thanks? Sorry? How old should I be? I’m m never sure what I’m meant to say

Delighted to welcome the fabulous @maevesherlock.bsky.social to this more gentle space. Weill worth a follow

Please, take me home to the—

Epitaph of one of my distant ancestors, William Babington. I would like to be like him: “Firm in purpose, gentle in execution. Justly confident in his own judgments, yet generously open to the opinion of others.” #WhoDoYouThinkYouAre

Delighted to be at the Faith Practice Biennale in Oslo - thinking about embodiment

Me: don’t look at X (Twitter) it’ll upset you. Also me: just a little look what harm can it do? Still me: my eyes, my eyes …why do people say things like that? First me: mmm….if only someone had warmed you.

This! Exactly this xx
