Getting started ...

This blog will initially be about my personal reflections on the Jubilee of Mercy, including the many pilgrimages I have undertaken (note this won't be a travel blog). Though it will primarily focus on Catholicism, it will cover Medicine (my profession), Medical ethics (an area dear to my heart), and once in a while unrelated topics that I find interesting.

Things I'll be writing about over the next couple of months:

• Jubilee of Mercy
• The Pilgrimage to Chartres (I went for the first time this year, my reflections will be over several posts)
• Lourdes
• La Salette
• Fatima
• Christmas Midnight Mass with Pope John Paul II
• Venerating the Crown of Thorns in Notre-Dame de Paris
• Emma by Jane Austen
• How I would fix the NHS
• Core Training in the NHS
• How to get into Medical School
• Making the most of Medical School
• Choosing a speciality
• My opinions on the non-invasive prenatal blood test (NIPT)
• Laudato Si
• Amoris Laetitia
• The Rosary, and the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, which introduced the Luminous mysteries.
• My first impressions of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite
• CatholicSat.com

Tomorrow I will post my thoughts on the European Union Referendum, and why I will be voting for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.
