There's a new Niles in the world. Joshua Benedict Rex was born this week, and Dave wants you to know how stressful it all was. For the dad, that is. The pressure. The anxiety. All those things. None of which come to mind right now. Joke's on Dave, though, because Lady Pamela got to the birth center, the midwife offered to break her water, and Joshua arrived eleven minutes later. That's boy number three, bringing the count to three boys and four girls. Adam got the "we're going in" text at the hospital, stopped to pray, and barely beat the birth. The baby's a content little guy. A stereotypical Niles baby, the spitting image of baby Davy. Baptism's in a couple weeks with Uncle Father Sean, godparents are Sarah and Drew, and somewhere in there is a real theology question the guys throw to the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush? Asking for a Mary.That birth set the whole table. Every time a baby comes into this circle of friends, the men pull their money, buy one nicer bottle of whiskey, sign it with the kid's name, and drink it together. They call it the "baby bottles" tradition. It blends friends into family. And it's exactly the kind of gift that makes you grateful, which is what this whole episode is about.They're recording on a Friday, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, the same day the bishops of America consecrated the entire country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pour is Glendalough, a pot still Irish whiskey the guys actually visited on pilgrimage. Triple distilled by law, smooth, no burn, and oddly cheap. The bottle shows St. Kevin in cruciform, a bird nesting in his open hand. The pious legend says he held that prayer posture so long the eggs hatched. Jim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6.Then the meat: gratitude. Not the bumper-sticker kind. Gratitude is a virtue, a sub-virtue of justice, because it renders to another what's due, first to God who gave us everything. Aquinas lays out three degrees: recognition, expression, repayment. Most of us fail at the first one. We take the morning, the clothes, the breath for granted. St. Bernard calls ingratitude a scorching wind that dries up the streams of grace. God pours, the man doesn't return thanks, the flow stops.The hardest, most masculine turn in the episode is receiving. Men hate it. I don't need your charity. I can carry this cross. But refusing a gift graciously offered isn't humility. It's a wall. Adam's lived on the receiving end through Mary's time in the NICU, and he's learned the Christian paradox: the more graciously indebted you are, the richer your life, because the score is never even. That's not a debt to clear. That's a brotherhood.And the punchline ties it all together. Eucharist means thanksgiving. A man of gratitude is a Eucharistic man. You can't repay God for creating you, so He came down, became one of us, and offered Himself on your behalf. All you have to do is show up. Protect, provide, establish, and give thanks. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDJoshua Benedict Rex Niles is born, baby boy number three, bringing the Niles count to three boys and four girlsDave's tongue-in-cheek case that the dad has it hardest in childbirthLady Pamela's eleven-minute birth at the birth center after the midwife broke her waterThe "kingship" theme running through the Niles boys' names: David, Joseph, and now Joshua Benedict RexWhy every Niles baby is a "cookie cutter" content baby, and Joshua looking just like baby DavyThe wonder that a child somehow looks like both mom and dad, "only God could make a baby look like both"Baptism plans with Uncle Father Sean and godparents Sarah and DrewThe open question for the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush?The "baby bottles" tradition, the men pooling money for a signed bottle of whiskey to honor each new babyWhy this kind of tradition blends friends into familyRecording on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and the U.S. bishops consecrating the country to the Sacred Heart of JesusWhiskey of the week: Glendalough pot still Irish whiskey, triple distilled and smoothThe legend of St. Kevin of Glendalough, the bird's nest in his hand and his love of all God's creaturesWhy Irish whiskey is the most approachable place to start, and surprisingly cheapJim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6"Better than I deserve, I'm sure," Adam's go-to answer to "how are you?"The man at the pharmacy who'd just lost his wife, and never knowing what people are carryingGratitude as a virtue, and specifically a sub-virtue of justiceThe book of Job as the model of gratitude to the core: "the Lord has given and the Lord has taken away"Why a member of the Body of Christ is doing well no matter what else is going wrongAquinas's three degrees of gratitude: recognition, expression, repaymentWhy recognition is the weak spot for most people, the habit of taking things for grantedThe internal act of the will toward the benefactor as the heart of repaymentThe humility it takes to receive a gift, and why most men refuse charityHow receiving a gift graciously multiplies joy and binds a community togetherThe Christian paradox of being "graciously indebted," and why the score is never evenSt. Bernard of Clairvaux on ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of graceDeacon Garlick's prayer of thanks as a model for opening prayerMeditating on the magnitude of the Incarnation, the worm-and-the-man analogyWhy real men don't complain or "vent," and complaining as carrying the cross while griping about its weightDying for your family is easy; living for your family is hard, the little deathsAre you willing to get up, eat right, moderate your drinking, and put the phone down for your family?The Malcolm Gladwell mentorship lesson and the hidden cost of remote work, tribal knowledge not getting passed downWhy none of our best fatherhood or business "hacks" are original, and the duty to pass them onSt. John Chrysostom and St. Thérèse of Lisieux: gratitude as the superpower of the soulWhy you won't become holy without the habit of gratitude"People need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed"Keeping the right perspective so you don't live in a false reality the devil wants for youEucharist means thanksgiving, a man of gratitude is a Eucharistic manREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:The Book of Job (the model of gratitude through suffering)The Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas Aquinas, Second Part of the Second Part (the three degrees of gratitude; ingratitude as sin)Malcolm Gladwell's work on mentorship and learning a craft (referenced by Adam)Saints & Church Fathers:St. Thomas Aquinas (the three degrees of gratitude; gratitude as a sub-virtue of justice)St. Bernard of Clairvaux (the "leaky vessel"; ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of grace)St. Kevin of Glendalough (the bird's-nest legend; love of God's creatures)St. John Chrysostom ("gratitude is the superpower of the soul")St. Thérèse of Lisieux (gratitude and the spiritual life)Simon of Cyrene (carrying the cross with Christ)People:Adam Minihan (host; founder of M6 Marketing; writes The Grounded Builder on Substack)Jim (in studio, keeper of the yummy scale)Lady Pamela Niles (delivered baby number seven)Joshua Benedict Rex Niles (newborn), David Jr., and Joseph Niles (the "kingship" names)Baby Mary Minihan (still in the NICU, the gifts and prayers received)Uncle Father Sean (baptizing Joshua); Sarah and Drew (godparents)Deacon Garlick (his prayer of thanks)Programs & Institutions:The Catholic Man Show pilgrimage (where the guys visited Glendalough)Glendalough Distillery, IrelandSPONSOR BLOCKSponsor: Select International Tours: selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, one name kept coming up: Select International Tours.

Welcome to Quiet Time Coaching, episode 574. Today we're talking about Celtic spirituality and sacred music.The reason this is on my mind is that I'm preparing a session on this topic for the contemplative Christian retreat we'll be holding in Glendalough, Ireland. I'll put details below.As I've been preparing, I've been reflecting on the role music plays in our relationship with God. Most of us have experienced moments when a song, a hymn, or even a piece of instrumental music has touched something deep inside us. Sometimes music seems to help us connect with God in a way that words alone cannot.That's certainly something the Celtic tradition appreciated. Celtic Christians had a strong awareness of God's presence in everyday life and in the created world. Music was one of the ways they responded to that presence.Core Teaching Paul wrote in Colossians 3:16:“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”Notice that music is not an optional extra. It's one of the ways God's word lives among his people. Music teaches, encourages and helps us express our gratitude to God.Recently I listened to a podcast featuring the musician and theologian Noël Tredinnick. He made a comment that caught my attention. Here is the quote:"Is music itself per se holy? Is music the language of the spheres, the language of harmony and harmonic series, and the scientific atoms that make up sound? The whole concept of melody, the long line of melody, linear music, harmonic music, vertical music? Is that an accident? No, that's God given. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I have an obsession that music is a gift from God. It's more than just having to be attached to words. It can be attached to words and it speaks wonderfully when it's attached to Christian words, the Bible or whatever. But I think it also speaks wonderfully when you just play instrumental music."From Music, Theology and Worship with LST: Orchestral Mission: Noël Tredinnick, 23 Apr 2026https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/music-theology-and-worship-with-lst/id1847574466?i=1000763258409&r=862He notes that music is a gift from God and that it speaks powerfully not only when joined to words, but also when it stands on its own as instrumental music.I think that's an interesting thought.We readily understand how a hymn or worship song can move us spiritually. But what about a melody with no words? Why can a simple piece of music sometimes calm our hearts, lift our spirits, or help us sense God's presence?Perhaps it's because music is part of God's good creation. Like beauty in nature, music can point beyond itself to the One who created it.This connects with a well-known Celtic idea, the concept of “thin places”. These are moments or places where we become especially aware of God's presence. While the phrase is often associated with particular locations, I wonder whether music can create those moments too.Have you ever been listening to a piece of music and suddenly become more aware of God? More aware of gratitude? More aware of peace? If so, perhaps you've experienced something of a thin place.Practical Application So how might we make use of music in our times with God?One idea is to spend a few minutes listening prayerfully to a piece of music. It might be a hymn, a worship song, a piece of sacred choral music, or simply an instrumental piece that helps you focus on God.Another idea is to pay attention to your response. What emotions does the music stir? What thoughts come to mind? Does it lead you towards gratitude, trust, repentance, or worship?And don't rush. Allow space for silence as well. Sometimes it's not only the music that helps us hear God, but the quietness that follows.I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Has music played an important role in your spiritual life? Are there particular pieces of music that help you connect with God? Let me know. I'd love to hear about your experience.Closing As I continue preparing for the retreat, I'm becoming increasingly grateful for the gift of music.Whether through singing, listening, or simply sitting quietly after the final note has faded, music can help us turn our attention towards God.Perhaps this week you could set aside a few minutes to listen carefully, prayerfully, and attentively.You may find that God has something to say.Your brother,MalcolmRetreat information: https://shop.thewayministry.global/2026-csr/homeMusic by Paul Winter from Pixabay

San Kevin de Glendalough (c. 498–618) es uno de los santos más queridos de Irlanda. Nació cerca de Dublín en una familia cristiana y desde joven mostró un profundo amor por Dios, la oración y la vida de penitencia. Deseoso de entregarse por completo al Señor, se retiró a los bosques y montañas de Glendalough, un valle de extraordinaria belleza natural, donde vivió durante años como ermitaño.Su fama de santidad atrajo a numerosos discípulos que buscaban aprender de su ejemplo. Así surgió el monasterio de Glendalough, que llegó a convertirse en uno de los centros espirituales y culturales más importantes de Irlanda. San Kevin fue reconocido por su humildad, sabiduría y amor a la creación.La tradición cuenta que tenía una relación especial con los animales. La leyenda más famosa narra que, mientras oraba con las manos extendidas, un mirlo hizo su nido en una de ellas. Kevin permaneció inmóvil hasta que los huevos eclosionaron y los polluelos pudieron volar, convirtiéndose en un símbolo de paciencia, ternura y respeto por la vida.Tras una larga vida dedicada a Dios, murió hacia el año 618. La Iglesia lo venera como abad, fundador y modelo de contemplación, recordándolo cada 3 de junio. ☘️

Al caer la tarde en Glendalough, en las montañas de Wicklow en Irlanda, un arroyo tranquilo recorre el antiguo valle. El agua fluye con constancia, llevando consigo el silencio del anochecer. Desde los árboles y las laderas, los pájaros cantan suavemente, sus canciones permanecen en el aire quieto. Juntos, agua y aves tejen un paisaje sonoro calmante — perfecto para la reflexión, la concentración o para sumirse en un sueño profundo y reparador. Buenas noches.

St. Kevin is a 6th century Irish saint, best known, perhaps, for the monastery he founded at Glendalough, tucked deep into County Wicklow. Beyond the monastic community, Kevin has been immortalized by Irish poet Seamus Heaney in a poem called “St. Kevin and the Blackbird.” It's a poem that speaks of a legend, a peculiar moment of prayer and stillness. Our own communications team member, Eric Clayton, knew very little about St. Kevin until a statue was erected on the campus of his alma mater to honor his late friend and spiritual mentor, the Jesuit priest Jim Bowler. The statue depicted Kevin and his blackbird, and Eric wondered why. Today's episode tracks Eric's own pilgrimage from a Connecticut university library to a cave over an Irish lake. His guide is the pilgrimage expert, Irish Jesuit Fr. Brendan McManus. Brendan is an award-winning author who has penned multiple books on the life-changing pilgrimages he's made, most notably along the Camino de Santiago. Journey with Eric and Brendan as they set out into the spiritual heart of Ireland.

This is the episode where it all comes full circle. Ten months ago, I came to Glendalough in Ireland and had an idea for a fantasy novel. Now, I've returned—after two weeks of hiking, dictating, and dreaming through the Irish wilderness—with a finished first draft. In this episode, I take you with me on my final writing walk through the Wicklow Mountains. Along the way, I share: How walking became my most powerful writing tool How ancient ruins and fairy gardens ended up shaping my fantasy world What a real day looks like on a writing retreat (spoiler: it involves instant noodles) The method I used to write 45,000 words while still exploring, thinking, and resting This isn't just a recap—it's a living snapshot of what it means to create in rhythm with nature, and to trust the story to find you as you go. Whether you're a writer, a creator, or simply someone curious about how books are born in the wild—I hope this journey inspires your own.

This past October (2024), I took a spiritual journey (pilgrimage) to the Glendalough monastic site south of Dublin, Ireland. In this episode, I recount the adventure. This is the third and final episode in my series about my trip to London and Ireland.You can see my photos and videos on YouTube @wesyoungwriter: ⁠⁠Pilgrimage

I'm back in Glendalough, where the idea for my fantasy novel was born. A year ago, I was walking along the ancient pilgrim paths here, and my imagination just ran wild. What if the old stories about saints and miracles were all true? What if the forests hid elves, wild beasts, and unseen magic? That spark turned into the book I'm now finishing. Being here again, surrounded by lakes and monastic ruins, I feel why I wanted to write this story in the first place. Because stories have always been the oldest form of magic I know. They transform how we see the world, lift us out of our everyday struggles, and connect us to something bigger. In this episode, I share: The moment this book idea came to life. How the history and legends of Glendalough shaped my story. Why I think stories themselves are a form of real magic. If you've ever wondered where ideas come from or how places can feed your creativity, you'll want to hear this one.

Glendalough is one of Ireland's most iconic and picturesque destinations. Its medieval monastery and stunning mountain landscape attract around one million tourists every year. However behind the postcard-perfect scenery lies a history that rarely makes it into the tourist brochures.In this episode, I veer off the well-trodden paths to uncover the real stories of Glendalough: stories of violence, exploitation, and transformation that have shaped the valley for centuries. This includes its early medieval history as a 'military industrial complex' and a very special interview with Robbie Carter - a former lead miner in the area.This episode will change the way you see one of Ireland's most famous historic sites.The podcast features Frank Tracy, Graeme Warren, Margaret Duff Garvey Pat Reid and Robbie Carter.

A little seasonal treat! A romp through the strangest of Christmas gift-guides, via Hamlet, Herod, Coventry and Glendalough. Season's greetings to you!

Toward the end of the year Earthkeepers podcast always releases a special holiday episode that breaks from the usual interview mode. In this episode, we're gifting a passage from our friend Christine Sine's book called Celtic Advent: Following an Unfamiliar Path Through Advent. Earthkeepers recommends this book because in it, Christine brings fresh, life-giving perspective on the conventional Western practices of advent. According to those Western practices, the advent season this year begins on Sunday, December 1—so why offer an advent reflection in November? In her book, Christine explains: “for Celtic and Orthodox Christians, advent begins the evening of November 15th – forty days before Christmas Day. Celtic Christians always prayed and fasted for 40 days in preparation for any major life event, whether it be the planting of a new monastic center, the beginning of a new adventure, as well as for preparation for Christmas and Easter.” Given the Celtic theme of the passage, it is read by Brother Seán Aherne, an Irish monk who is very familiar with the St. Kevin story that is featured in this episode.Christine's website, GodspacelightBook: Celtic Advent: Following an Unfamiliar PathBrother Seán Aherne ( born 1946 ) is a Celtic Christian monk living in a small monastery on outskirts of Dublin. He is Director &  founding member of the John Moriarty institute for Ecology & Spirituality in Dingle, County Kerry.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr Chantal Kobel (Department of Early Irish, Maynooth University) to chat all about medieval Irish manuscripts (literally documents written by hand) and the various specialists skills and tools needed to read these precious historical sources. From palaeography (the study of old handwriting and writing systems) to codicology (study of the actual books) we learn about how manuscripts were physically made (trigger warning, it gets a little gruesome!), what they feel like, why so few survive, where you can see them for yourselves (online or Royal Irish Academy!), whether some more could be discovered, and whether any were written by women. Some notable mentions: Faddan More Psalter, Rawlinson B502 (Book of Glendalough?), Book of Armagh, Aided Chonchobair ‘The violent death of Conchobar.

Vodafone Ireland, in collaboration with Folk VML, is proud to unveil a powerful new out-of-home (OOH) campaign addressing the escalating issue of e-waste in Ireland. As part of Vodafone's ongoing 'Home of Trade-In' initiative, this campaign uses the stunning backdrop of Glendalough to highlight the magnitude of e-waste through a dramatic depiction of a literal mountain of unused smartphones. With more than 5 million unused smartphones languishing in drawers across Ireland, the valuable raw materials they contain are being overlooked and wasted. This issue remains largely hidden and forgotten, as these devices sit idle and unused. Vodafone offers a range of solutions to tackle this growing problem, including refurbished smartphones, Trade-In programs, device repair, and recycling services. These initiatives give unused phones a new lease on life, ensuring they are repaired, recycled, or repurposed. Speaking about the campaign Amanda Nelson, CEO at Vodafone Ireland, said: ''This campaign was designed to grab attention and spark conversations around e-waste and the role we can all play in tackling this problem. Through initiatives like Trade-in, fix and go, recycling and our refurbished phones, we are committed to addressing this problem by extending the lifecycle of our customers devices, offering them better, more sustainable value that's kinder to the planet." Jonny Cullen, Creative Director at Folk VML added: ''There are over 5 million unused smartphones across the breadth of Ireland. Calling out that alarming stat is one thing but bringing that stat to life for the consumer in a dramatic visual is way more powerful. Our job was to inform the public that you can do something about it by trading in, repairing, recycling and repurposing these smartphones thanks to Vodafone.'' The adverts will appear on billboards at Summerhill North Road in Cork City, Dorset Street in Dublin and Wellpark Road in Galway City from Monday 26th August to September 8th. See more stories here.

IRELAND'S UNPARALLELED ESSENCE: Volume I by Norbert G. GomesIrish mythology, literature, and culture weave together in a rich pattern that unfolds within Ireland's rich poetic tradition. With great care and attention to detail, the author of "Ireland's Unparalleled Essence: Volume I" proceeds on a formal journey to unearth the many facets that make up Ireland's legacy. Poet Norbert G. Gomes encapsulates the awe-inspiring essence of Ireland via the interaction of mythology, literature, and history.Experience the mysticism and history of Ireland's historic landscapes on a spiritual trip, stopping in Glendalough and the Hill of Tara. Explorations along the Wild Atlantic Way's coastline reveal the untamed splendor of lofty cliffs and tenacious locals. Experience the passion of Gaelic games, where history and athleticism come together in sports like hurling and football, and get a lively look at Ireland's dynamic national identity. Strolling along the Wild Atlantic Way, you will feel the old vitality of the remnants of monastic buildings and breathe in the salty air, both of which reflect the resiliency of Ireland's people.This book and its verses take the reader on a journey through Ireland's rich history, from the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher to the heart-pounding tunes of traditional Irish music. Gomes expertly deconstructs the nation's history, capturing its essence with every page. Inspiring readers with its rich traditions and welcoming spirit, the book highlights Ireland's enduring beauty and warmth via the interplay of poetic words and evocative descriptions.Norbert G. Gomes, who is famous for his work in radio and growing orchids, puts on his poet's hat in "Ireland's Unparalleled Essence." Beyond the plaudits and successes, Gomes emerges as a storyteller, depicting with words the events that happened during his Irish exile. Gomes' creative genius reveals Ireland's soul, from Dublin's pulsating culture to County Antrim's peaceful landscapes. But this is more than a lyrical fling; it feels like returning home. In order to reignite a light that was quenched in the gloom of 1963, Gomes goes back to his early poetic verses. Gomes is more than a writer in these lines; he is a pilgrim, eagerly yet modestly sharing his findings and answering a long-dormant summons. It's clear that "Ireland's Unparalleled Essence" is more than simply a literary piece; it's also a tribute to the everlasting power of creative enthusiasm, demonstrating that the deepest art may sometimes lay dormant, waiting for the right time to reawaken and dazzle the world.https://www.amazon.com/IRELANDS-UNPARALLELED-ESSENCE-Norbert-Gomes/dp/B0CPB8Y97P/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=0EUIy&content-id=amzn1.sym.cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_p=cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_r=141-1372329-5880929&pd_rd_wg=gDnzR&pd_rd_r=998d0532-643d-4cd3-a65f-c216fb5f8a24&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dskhttps://norbertggomes.com/http://www.ecpublishingllc.com    http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/62024ngec.mp3

We're going to recognize St. Patrick's Day with some Irish cinema, not watching some shit movie like Leprechaun 2 or something. Irish/English Dictionary Poitín - Moonshine. Stovetop distillery. Don't worry about it. It's just for the cows. Craic - Merry-making, revelry Garda(i) - Police Officer(s) Some projectile from space crashes into the ocean off the coast of Ireland. The local Gardai decide they have to deal with this one themselves, to prevent widespread panic. So they team up with a drunk fisherman to fight off the menace. Luckily, alcohol is poisonous to these creatures, so they can be defeated by the craic. Ciceáil Éire asal eachtrannach. Grabbers Final Grades: Both guys consider this to be a perfectly good movie. The acting, effects, set design, etc. were all well done. Nothing hokey or corny about this one. Much more of a legitimately done movie than what we've been watching recently. Pretty standard, inoffensive horr-medy. Steve ~3 of 5 Brandon's ~4 of 5, because he likes movies made outside the US more than Steve does. Cocktail of the Week: Tipperary 2 oz Irish Whiskey, ours made in Glendalough, County Wicklow 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth 1/4 oz Green Chartreuse, or cheaper knockoff 2 dashes Angostura bitters Combine/stir ingredients in a mixing glass.

Journey the Psalms with me in 2024… ***Introducing a new series with accompanying journal***How do the Psalms speak into our lives? How can they help us get in touch with our deeper emotions, and to better understand ourselves? How can they lead us to live fuller, more honest, more authentic lives? What can they show us about who God is and who we're invited to be in the world? Starting in early January 2024, I'll be going through - in numerical order - the 44 Psalms I've arranged and recorded with my dear friends the McGraths (Celtic Psalms). Each week I will share reflections on a Psalm of the week, with accompanying journal pages (see the cover above) to enhance your personal journey. In addition, I'll be doing a weekly short-form podcast with a song and reflections.The journal pages and podcast will include an introduction to the music and theme of each Psalm; connections to other writings and wisdom; helpful links to the Psalms for the Spirit podcast; reflection questions for you to explore through journaling or other forms of expression; a prayer and an invitation. The journal eBook/PDF (180 pages!) will be included for all Psalms for the Spirit paid subscribers, or you will be able to purchase it on my website. Each week, paid subscribers will also receive a downloadable mp3 of the featured song to accompany your reflection journey. The journal will come in Full Digital Format (an ebook/interactive PDF), downloadable on iPads, phones and computers, with embedded links for your convenience and text boxes for your own writing. There will also be a simplified printable version for you to write on by hand, or you can choose a notebook of your own to accompany this process. The journey will begin in early January and will continue through to November. That's 44 weeks!I know that sounds like a long time - who knows what life will bring between now and November. Feel free to dip in and out of it, or to return later to Psalms you might miss. Other than me showing up each week with a Psalm and some reflections, this will be a free-flowing, spacious, gracious space with plenty of room for flexibility. These are resources I'll be providing that you can take advantage of if it's helpful to you - or, you can save it for a time when you need it. I will arrange periodic Zoom gatherings so that we can share parts of this journey together. I believe this is going to be a rich and transformative journey. If you've been wondering whether to become a paid subscriber, now might be a great time to hop aboard. Or if there's a reflective soul in your life, consider inviting them along.

[This episode first aired in December 2021]Today's guest is Ruth Patterson – Presbyterian minister, writer, retreat leader - recognized internationally for her deep spiritual insight and her gently powerful work in peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland.When I first heard about Ruth Patterson, it was with a certain sense of awe, as she was the very first woman – in any denomination – to be ordained in Ireland (well, perhaps since St. Brigit in the 5th century). Not only that, but she speaks with clarity and eloquence, and shows a steady kindness towards everyone she encounters. Ruth is one of those people for whom poetry and meaningful quotations roll off the tongue effortlessly, and whose reflections are profound while also being accessible and applicable to daily life.The organisation she founded and led for 30 years, Restoration Ministries brings people together across community divides in Ireland around their shared spirituality, and draws on the image of restoration depicted in the Psalms. In this conversation, which we had in the heart of Advent,  we talk about the link between the Psalms and the history of Ireland, about the importance of hospitality – towards ourselves, God, others – in moving into a future of restoration, about the journey towards becoming our full selves, and about how awakening to our belovedness is the starting point for healing and wholeness in this world. So whatever it is that brought you here, I'm glad you're with us. More about Ruth:Ruth Patterson is a Presbyterian minister, and for the last 33 years has been Director of Restoration Ministries (https://restorationministries.co.uk), a non- denominational, Christian organisation committed to peace and reconciliation.  In 1976 she was the first woman to be ordained in Ireland.  She was the recipient of the Alumna of the Year 2000 award (Edinburgh University / Royal Bank of Scotland), in 2001 an honorary doctorate from the Presbyterian Theology Faculty of Ireland, and in 2003 was awarded an OBE for her efforts in reconciliation.  She has authored five books and numerous articles stemming from her commitment to unity and peace.  She produces annual scripture guidelines for Faith and Friendship.  She is one of four church representatives to L'Arche International and holds the post of Ecumenical Canon in St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast.  She is on the Board of Oneings, a bi-annual publication of the Centre for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. FEATURED MUSICCome, Spirit, Come (Psalm 144) - intro/outro by Celtic PsalmsYou Have Searched Me (Psalm 139)Love and Mercy (Psalm 85 - Forthcoming Album)From the Depths (Psalm 130)You can find our published scores, CDs and mp3s through GIA MusicWe're also on YouTube, Spotify, and AmazonThere's a really wonderful opportunity coming up in April 2024 – the Resilient Spirit Pilgrimage to Ireland.Consider taking 11 days to come to Ireland to explore what brings us joy, strength, hope – resilience – to our lives. We'll begin with six days at the beautiful Corrymeela residential centre in Ballycastle, on the north coast, which alone will take your breath away, but on top of that we have a program throughout our stay that's geared toward helping you find resilience within yourself and to develop practices and wisdom that you can take back home with you.Resilience expert Sara Cook will be our first guest facilitator, followed by the brilliant reflective practitioner Paul Hutchinson. I'll be leading a retreat day with Celtic Psalms music and space for silence and sharing, and then we'll have a session on Zoom with the one and only poet/theologian/ Poetry Unbound creator/member and former leader of the Corrymeela community Pádraig Ó Tuama.Pilgrimage participants will then head a few hours south to the stunning hills and ancient monastery of Glendalough, where we'll spend a few days connecting with the beauty of nature and the wisdom of Celtic Spirituality, before spending a day exploring the vibrant city of Dublin.This is going to be a transformative, uplifting, joyful and inspiring experience… Come join us on the beautiful north coast of Ireland at the Corrymeela Centre for the Resilient Spirit Pilgrimage in April 2024.
