'Over the years I've preached homilies at about fifty weddings. There are things I've thought of saying, decided to avoid, but still saved. This is an attempt to bring all those together in one imagined homily.'

'St Francis invites us to see nature as a magnificent book in which God speaks to us and grants to us a glimpse of his infinite beauty and goodness. Beyond the language of mathematics and biology he takes us to the heart of what it is to be human….. just as happens when we fall in love with someone.' - Laudato Si 12
