As we look out over our world this St. Brigid’s Day, 2024–there are many reasons to be afraid, but if we look within, the fire of courage arises. Listen to Luka Bloom‘s song, “Don’t Be Afraid of the Light that Shines Within You,” from his album, “Eleven Songs”:
-The Ruined?
"The Ruined" are those countless ones throughout the ages who have encountered the presence of the living God to such an extent that they are "ruined" for the things of this world. They can never return for any extended time to what was formerly known as "normal life." They are
burned with a vision of the beauty of God in the face of Christ-- and
they seek this in everyone and everything they meet.
