We have a new book in the Sports and Faith Series by Chicago Bears Vice President Patrick McCaskey called Worthwhile Struggle. The book includes a number of stories of excellent athletes who lead exemplary lives. The author also shares a number of his family stories and his experience growing up in a Catholic household and going to Catholic Schools. It has long been our belief that sports is an excellent metaphor for life lessons.
Worthwhile Struggle also includes stories of inspirational saints. Some of the saints are Irish ones: Saint Columba, Saint Kevin, and Saint Patrick. We cover a little of Saint Kevin and also discuss Seamus Heaney and his famous poem, Saint Kevin of the Blackbird. With the permission of Heaney's publisher, we also include the poem itself.
