A Journey from the Head to the Heart, part I



The interior versus exterior questions of life, the infamous journey from the head to the heart, one of the longest journeys one will ever take according to Mother Teresa. Trying to overcome the spiritual rut that many Catholics will encounter along the path of their personal journey, or story if you will, rests at the center fold of this gentleman’s testimony from Ireland. When broken, where does he turn? The better question, where will we turn?

Today’s Story

Eventually, depression crept in to this man’s life, making that journey from the head to the heart an arduous task; not to mention an encounter with a family member’s bout with cancer. For years, his remedy was alcohol, even when he was a young teenager, and eventual resident in America for three years. The willingness of this man to open up the darker secrets of his story is a rare encounter this day in age. Many people are afraid to reveal the sins of one’s past. Not this man, not even close, he opens up the inner workings of his soul for every viewer’s spiritual and human benefit.
