I am always blessed when I visit these Fr Coleridge expositions. Thanks again for doing this great work. As traditional Catholics (and catechumens) we can too often get get caught up in, or even identify with the current controversies; we can forget that the true blessing in being an Apostolic Catholic is in BEING such a Catholic.

An early stage of my conversion was through a contemplation on the Beatitudes. I hope you post more of Fr Coleridge's commentary on these here; they are truly Catholic in soteriological discipline, and he brough this nature out in this brief account so well.

Tough unworthy of your time compared to such an learned and spiritual man, I post my introductory account of the "Discipline of the Beatitudes'; Through the process of writing the first version of this contemplation, I came to realize, "Oh, you are Catholic now". A Protestant can only see these sublime couplets of our Lord as platitudes. A Catholic can see in them the mystery of discipleship,, the root of all proceeding manuals of spiritual discipline in cooperation with divine grace. Thanks again.
