" In light of Ignatius' 'Two Standards' and 'The Mystries Done From The Garden To The House Of Annas', at any moment we can be Judas or Peter, a Christian life can be a fine line."

Adventures In Nepal
As a Jesuit Volunteer, I have been placed in the village of Godavari to teach at the St. Xavier School. Over the next two years, I will attempt to speak Nepali, to immerse in a Hindu society, to understand social justice in a new culture, to live simply in community with others, and to hopefully teach young students just a fraction of what I am sure to learn.

I am not a Jesuit, nor am I a cleric. I spent about 5 years under the spiritual direction of a Jesuit, 3 of those years in a weekly directed retreat in everyday life. The profound impact that the Society and the Excercises had upon my life, resulted in me, trying to deal with that impact in some way by sharing my view of Jesus Christ with others. My intention is to pull together Jesuitical and Catholic subjects that interest me. I was born on the feast day of St. Paul Miki, S.J.. I am the father of three small children and an infant, I am married to a great wife.
