The Taliban has just banned Afghan women from attending nursing school.

Imagine: you cannot pursue any education, even healthcare, because of the sole reason that you are a woman.

We are witnessing the erasure of women in real-time. It is beyond horror.

Beloved beyond the yoke. Marriage between a believer and a non-believer can lead to difficult scrapes.  In a lovely piece in this week’s @The_Tablet @KathrynSimmonds shows it can also be a lesson in understanding that in every good marriage the same work of mutual growing goes on and that God’s love is without boundaries.

@drsarahlaw I love The Guardian: 'Purported apparitions of the Virgin Mary have led to Fátima in Portugal and Lourdes in France becoming popular and lucrative pilgrimage destinations.' As if the uneducated child visionaries had a business plan!

@AbbeyPrimary @MrEagletonIan Ahh, this is such a joyous photo! Thank you for sharing and thank you to @MrEagletonIan for sharing the book on his brilliant blog!

@ESOldfield Some people just show more emotion when they feel things deeply. Thank you for sharing this clip. I spoke about my faith in a group of people last week, didn't plan to, and felt myself going a bit wobbly, then fretted about it afterwards. But seeing you speak was affirming!

Is it a Viscacha...or is it a poet?

[Nature is Amazing ☘️ @AMAZlNGNATURE]

Everyone should know that this animal exists. It's a Viscacha.

The Viscacha is known for always looking sad, disappointed, and needing a nap. They are my new spirit animal.
