    About this ebook

    Joachim Flynn was born in Glasgow to Irish parents in the year 1926.
    He was a Catholic and went to a Catholic school with other Catholic
    boys, but Joachim always felt that there was something about him that
    wasn't just quite right. He didn't think like the other boys and the
    Parish Priest tried to convince him that he had a vocation to the
    priesthood and that was the reason why he felt as he did, but Joachim
    had no inclinations for the priesthood or for the married state. The
    other Catholic boys grew up and fell in love, mostly with Catholic
    girls, but some went their own way and disregarded the teachings of the
    church into which they were born and married elsewhere, if they married
    at all.
    Joachim grew up too and he also fell in love, but he fell in love with
    God and the Shadow of God followed Joachim throughout the whole of his
    life with a special vocation . . . greater than the priesthood ...
    greater than the married state. He was born in the imitation of
    Christ, where like Christ he gave his life for another.
    'For no greater love hath any man ... than that he lay down his life
    for his friend.'

      Supportive Husband

      Sep 12, 2023

      There were less intimate places available, so it was odd when a woman took the seat directly facing mine across the subway aisle. I looked up from my book and right back down: a couple of months before, we’d gone home together. She had a Southern acc
