I suspect very few people knew it then, but in the last two years that I was running a school, I was also running on empty. For several reasons, I found myself precariously on the brink of a burnout. I had worked too hard and cared too little for my well-being–a dangerous but all too common formula for self-endangerment.

We are happy to announce that PINS OF LIGHT will undergo some sort of makeover. For over a decade now, this bible blog, which first started in late 2007, has been sharing Sunday homilies and Gospel reflections, apart from online recollections for Advent and especially for Lent.
This homily is based on Mark 10:17-30.
