George Sheehan


George Sheehan on a run with Bill Rodgers.

"In facing life, no one knows exactly what is going to happen, what is going to be needed, where the search
for the Grail will lead. The best we can do is be prepared. Running makes you an athlete in all areas
-- trained in basics, ready for whatever comes, ready to live each day, fill each hour and deal with the
decisive moment. ~ George Sheehan"

Flowers and plants are ready to awake from a dormant winter.

Walking on the road to Emmaus with Christ

"Lord, I believe in you; increase my faith particularly in your resurrection. Lord, I hope in you; give me the hope that you will be faithful to all your promises. Lord, increase my love; grant me a generous and constant love. Thank you for all your graces and benefits in my life. "

Where are you Spring ?

Chilly windy days and frigid nights.

Where are you Spring?

Dark green leafs and white flowers.

Spring why do you mock us?

Spring give us new life.

Psalm 98



O Lord our God , you answered them.

For them you were a God who forgives ;

yet you punished all their offenses.

Exalt the Lord our God ;

bow down before his holy mountian

for the Lord our God is holy.

'Dominus Jesus' reaffirms Catholic Church's claims to truth


Saint Peter insists to be crucified upside down , because he is not worthy to die like his Saviour Jesus the Christ.







Establishment of the Catholic Church ,
"And I say to you , you are Peter , and upon this rock I shall build my church , and the gates of the Netherworld shall not prevail agianst it." Mt. 16:18

















'Dominus Jesus' reaffirms Catholic Church's claims to truth: "Dominus Jesus asserts in Chapter One that the 'full revelation of divine truth' comes through Jesus Christ and His Church. Thus it is wrong to suggest that the Catholic Church is 'complementary' to other religions, while Chapter Two refutes the views of theologians who say that the Holy Spirit has 'a more universal breadth' than the Church. Citing the teachings of Vatican II, Dominus Jesus points out that that there is only one economy of salvation, and 'the action of the Spirit is not outside or parallel to the action of Christ.'
In the fourth and fifth Chapters, Dominus Jesus notes that the salvation promised by Jesus Christ comes through the Catholic Church, his 'bride' and Mystical Body. The Catholic Church - defined as the Church that has maintained apostolic succession - is the one true Church.

While the document acknowledges that some Orthodox churches, which have maintained apostolic succession, although they do not accept the primacy of Peter, represent the true Church, other Christian bodies do not enjoy the same status. Through Baptism, it says, the members of these Christian ecclesial bodies are 'incorporated in Christ' and maintain 'a certain communion, albeit imperfect,' with the Church."

The four marks of the Catholic Church are One , Holy , Catholic and Apostolic.

Purple Dream

O God , you are my God , for you I long ;

for you my soul is thirsting ,

My body pines for you

like a dry , weary land without water.

So I gaze on you in sanctuary

to see your strength and your glory.

Psalm 62



Photo taken in the late 1970`s with magnifying filters.
