Notes from a Catholic marriage
The latest newsletter from the monks of Norcia, Italy, includes a list of everything the monks read aloud during their meals this past year. It is an interesting list in itself, but for this reader there is a pleasant surprise in the left-hand column:
The same folks that started The Josias have kicked off another journal, The Peregrine. While the former is about big ideas and its entries are long, the latter is about living out the ideas and its articles are short.
When I saw that Peter Edmund Waldstein of the Sancrucensis Blog had published a lovely reflection on swimming with goggles at The Peregrine, I was reminded of a piece I wrote quite some time ago titled Life in the Cosmos. I sent it in, but unfortunately their word limit meant they could only publish snippets of the original essay. It’s enough to offer a feel for the topic. Check out the shorter Life in the Cosmos here.
