“Take Courage”

Well worth reading, from The Catholic Thing.

An excerpt:

I was about to begin my doctrinal studies at King’s College, and it was dark when I arrived at our Capuchin friary in the borough of Peckham in southeast London.  When I was shown my room, I immediately looked out the window to see my view over the next three years.  Across the way, was a pub.  Blazing above its door, in big red neon letters, was the phrase: “Take Courage.”
