Travelling Poem of St Columba, and the victory which ensued

The background of this hymn was a great battle had ensued to protect Columba’s copy of the Psalter. After the King of Ireland had decreed that Columba should return the copy he had made (without permission) to St Finnian, this caused the rival Royals of O’Neil (of which Columba belonged to this Royal family) to […]

The Universal and the Particular in Christian Political Life: Secular and Sacred Reflections on Christian Nationalism

Being human in a world that is both physical and metaphysical confronts us with legitimate though competing obligations that pull us between particular and universal goods. This is superlatively true for Christians, as they live consciously and conscientiously in two kingdoms, one earthy and the other heavenly, serving a divine king and, under him, also an earthly one. The kingdom of God directs our sights to the universal relationship in Christ while leaving us separately embodied in particular families and communities—the one does not supplant these others—which both require and merit devotion and self-sacrifice. This tension between love of one’s own and the uniquely Christian universal love can be seen in the currently employed and contentiously scrutinized term Christian nationalism. Though seemingly an oxymoron, it recognizes and makes sense of the necessary coincidence of our inescapable particularity with our participation in and dependence on larger realities.

Why ‘Unbalanced’ Muscles Cause Pain

Have you ever felt persistent pain in your shoulder, elbow, wrist or lower back, especially after engaging in activities that involve repetitive movements? These discomforts might stem from muscle imbalances — where certain muscles become stronger or tighter than their opposing counterparts.

Muscle imbalances disrupt the harmony of your musculoskeletal system, leading to altered movement patterns and increased stress on joints. This imbalance is particularly prevalent in athletes, including those who perform overhead movements, such as those in baseball, tennis, volleyball and water polo.1 However, muscle imbalances affect non-athletes as well — even working at a computer for long hours each day puts you at risk.

No matter the activity, when one side of your body becomes dominant due to repetitive use, the non-dominant side often lags behind in strength and flexibility. Muscle imbalances aren’t just a matter of asymmetry; they’re significant contributors to pain and injury in both athletes and the general population.
