Oremus pro Antistite nostro Alexandro. Stet et pascat in fortitudine tua, Domine, in sublimitate nominis tui. (Let us pray for our Bishop Alexander. May he stand firm and shepherd his flock by Your strength, O Lord, in the majesty of Your name.)

From wanting to die to wanting to live
This moving program from BBC World Service Heart and Soul recounts how Alison Davis who says she suffered at a level beyond 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 and tried several times to end her life. She acquired the will to live after seeing the poor in India. After checking out the Quran and Hindu scriptures, in which she found nuggets of truth, she embraced the Catholic faith, the last thing she wanted to do. Hear her moving conversion account, including her visit to Lourdes. And a moving meditation on the Crucifix.
