    Despite its beauty, this is a place of brokenness. So said the guide sheet handed to tourists (like me) upon entering Ely Cathedral – a massive, spectacular Anglican church that rises out of the English countryside some 80 miles north of London."

    If there is any compliment worthy of Robin Williams' career as an actor it might be that his death was a reminder of how familiar he felt to us. He portrayed characters we came to love with such authenticity that we began to believe we knew him well. I was saddened by news of his death, but not entirely surprised. Many of us struggle with addiction and depression and I could see a familiar sadness in him. In his performing you got the sense that he was trying very hard. His comedy rushed at the world like a firehose trying to douse the flames of pain. And we lined up to be doused. We threw ourselves again and again into his manic stream of laughter. - The article originally appeared in The Jesuit Post (thejesuitpost.org) on August 26, 2014....

    Since March 2008 I have been working as a teacher and international partner at the Kofi Annan Institute for Conflict Transformation (KAICT) in Monrovia, Liberia. Late in 2013 the deadly Ebola virus was discovered in our neighboring country Guinea and in due course it reached us in Liberia. At first the number of cases of Ebola was relatively few. So I took some home leave in Canada in late June. However, by August the disease had spread throughout Liberia as well as Guinea and Sierra Leone. The question arose as to whether I should return to Liberia as I had planned....

    Here in Madrid I take a twenty minute walk to mass every Sunday. Directly in my path is the hospital. Her hospital. The one with the 'Ebola Nurse'. The local papers run several front page stories about her every day. A bank of cameras and news vans huddle permanently just outside the gate waiting for something. There was even a public debate about whether her dog should be euthanized -- animal rights on one side and Ebola paranoia on the other. Paranoia won. Excalibur, the dog, was destroyed Wednesday. Her husband remains in quarantine. Reprinted with permission from The Jesuit Post (11/15/14)...

    There are very few people who realize what God would make of them if they abandoned themselves entirely into his hands, and let themselves be formed by his grace. St. Ignatius, whose feast we celebrate today, wrote that in 1543. Four hundred and seventy-one years later, that fundamental Ignatian insight that God is far more active than we are often willing to notice or trust is still valid -- and, inasmuch as it has formed the current successor of Peter, very much at work in the Church.
