Our ladies’ group, Women at the Well,
is reading this book by a Jesuit priest Father James Martin.
Since we meet only once a month
and do not meet in the summer,
we will continue to read this interesting book into 2015.
Father Martin relates the saints’ lives,
as well as those who led saintly, holy lives,
and how they have impacted his own life.
The saints or saintly that we have encountered thus far are these:
The Saint of the Sock Drawer- Jude
Joan of Arc
Thomas Merton
Ignatius of Loyola
Pedro Arrupe
Bernadette Soubirous
And for April, we are reading about these:
Mother Teresa
Pope John XXIII
Then some of our ladies
share the history and spirituality of each saint
we have studied with their own unique presentations.
We are fortunate to have such industrious
and interesting speakers in our group.
I highly recommend this book
for its spiritual value
as well as its entertaining way of sharing
the lives of these faith-filled people
whose journey we may choose to emulate.

You asked what a jumbuck is. Wel if you heard the third video in my post then you hear the singer explain that a jumbuck is a sheep, a mathilda is a sleeping back, a billy is a kettle, a billabong is a pool of deep water and tucker is food. Australia has a lot of words that differ from British or American English.
