Saints & Stones: Family Trip to Northeast of England (Part 2)

I continue my family’s journey through the north of England – from the sacred shores of Lindisfarne to the wild beauty of the Farne Islands, as well as joy-filled days at Bamburgh, Alnwick and Craigside. Building on the last episode ‘Saints and Stones’, I explore how faith is revealed through creation itself – in nature, laughter and play. Join me as I reflect on the lives of the northern saints, the wonder of the landscape they called home, and how every family adventure can become it’s own quiet pilgrimage.

The Quiet Yes: Conversations on Spiritual Motherhood

I am joined with Delphine Chui, who was one of the MCs for the Woman in the Church Summit, to explore the quiet, transformative call of spiritual motherhood as we reflect on our experiences at the summit – the often unseen ways women nuture faith, create space for growth, and form the Church from within.

I also talk with Marilis Pineiro, founder of Cor Filiae, meaning Heart of the Daughter, and how it flows directly from the heart of spiritual motherhood – a desire to form women deeply and help them rediscover their identity as daughters of God. It’s a conversation about hidden strength and the quiet yes that changes everything.

Pilgrimage in the Gallery: Discovering the Sacred in London’s Museums

What if your next pilgrimage didn’t lead you to a shrine—but to a museum? In this episode of Just Life, I invite you on a unique spiritual journey through five of London’s most iconic museums: the British Museum, the British Library, the National Gallery, the Tower of London, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. With the heart of a pilgrim and the eyes of faith, I explore sacred artifacts, forgotten corners, and treasures of Christian history—revealing how beauty, silence, and story can draw us into deeper encounter with God. Whether you’re walking through a gallery or simply longing for stillness, this is an invitation to rediscover the sacred—hidden in plain sight.

History of Pilgrimage in Britain

Pilgrimage has been at the heart of Christian life for centuries, but what does it really mean? In this episode of Just Life on Radio Maria, I uncover the history of pilgrimage in Britain, from the sacred journeys of early Christians to the great medieval pilgrim routes—and how the Reformation nearly erased them. As we go through the Jubilee Year of Hope, pilgrimage is making a  return, not just to shrines and cathedrals, but to places of history, culture, and faith. This episode sets the stage for a deeper journey into the pilgrim paths of the UK—both well-known and hidden—showing how pilgrimage is alive and waiting to be rediscovered.

Pilgrim’s Way from Southwark to Canterbury

Join me as I take you on the ancient Pilgrims’ Way from Southwark to Canterbury. Discover the rich history of St. Thomas Becket, the medieval pilgrims who journeyed in faith, and what it means to walk a pilgrimage today. Whether you’ve trekked the route yourself or dream of doing so, this episode brings England’s sacred paths to life.

The Wells of Hope and Healing

Let’s go on a pilgrimage across time and landscape to two of Britain’s most sacred and enduring holy wells: Ladyewell Shrine in Lancashire and St Winefride’s Well in North Wales.

Along the way, you’ll walk the paths of hidden recusant Catholics, hear the miraculous story of St Winefride, and pause at ruined abbeys, quiet chapels, and flowing springs that have brought hope and healing to generations of pilgrims.

This episode invites you to rediscover what it means to be a pilgrim — to carry your wounds, your prayers, and your hope toward the Living Water that never runs dry.
