What seminarians need in a spiritual director
I recently discovered the delights of Malta for the first time, with a certain sense of frustration that I hadn’t thought to go sooner. The architecture and art, especially of the beautiful churches, and the ancient walled cities redolent of the Knights of Malta who defended the faith there until Napoleon expelled them – all these make me want to go back soon.
I travelled little in my youth and it is only since becoming a priest that my air miles have shot up. This trip, too, was work, but mixed with a lot of good priestly fraternity and a chance for some sightseeing and a short pilgrimage in the footsteps of St Paul.
