The spiritual life isn’t about having “arrived

The spiritual life isn’t about having “arrived,” but about continually returning again and again to the One who sustains us.
Take a quiet moment today to pause and ask:
- Where do I need to rely on God anew?
- What would it mean to begin again in trust today?

So for the past three years I have created liturgical journals. Entitled ‘Ora et Labora’ they invite people into ancient spiritual practices such as journaling, the examen, the lectionary and creating a rule of life. The 2026 edition is going to be available soon so wanted to share it with you here just in case it may be of interest. More info and order details will follow.

I had the great joy of being interviewed recently by my pal Dave for his brilliant podcast 'Deep Soul Nine' where he explores all things enneagram. Alongside two others, we discussed what life is like being a type Two. If you are a podcast listener or interested in the enneagram at all check out @deepsoulnine #podcast #deepsoulnine #enneagram

Today we continued our Celtic saint pilgrimage by visiting old Melrose. Tucked away in the quiet bends of the River Tweed you can find the original site of Saint Aidan’s monastery where he lived and worshipped. (Not Melrose Abbey which was developed later under the Carthusians) It was here that the spiritual roots of Northumbria began to grow. Saint Cuthbert, moved by a vision of Aidan’s passing, journeyed to this sacred place to enter monastic life. The place feels raw and sacred. Next stop Iona!

Our next Celtic saint in our pilgrimage is Saint Aiden.

Saint Aidan was an Irish monk sent from Iona to Northumbria in 635. He founded the monastery here at Lindisfarne, which became a centre of Christian faith and learning. Known for his humility and deep care for others, he played a key role in spreading Christianity in the region.
Saint Cuthbert was inspired by Aidan’s example and later followed in his footsteps as bishop of Lindisfarne, continuing his mission and preserving his legacy.

Today we went to @durhamcathedral to continue our Celtic saints pilgrimage visiting the shrine of Saint Cuthbert.

Saint Cuthbert was a 7th-century monk, bishop, and hermit known for his holiness and miracles. While tending sheep, he had a vision of Saint Aidan’s soul rising to heaven—Aidan had just died at Bamburgh. This inspired Cuthbert to join Melrose Abbey. He later became prior of Lindisfarne, helping guide the Church after the Synod of Whitby, and was made bishop despite his wish for a quiet life. He eventually withdrew to Inner Farne to live in solitude and prayer.
