Desert Reflections: He ain’t heavy … he’s my brother

Today’s feast celebrating the life of St John Bosco reminds Fr Paul of the 1938 classic film, “Boy’s Town” and The Hollies’ hit song based on a line from the movie, “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.” We’re all Jesus’ brothers and sisters, Fr Paul points out. For him, none of us is heavy.
