Experience Opens Eyes To Faith’s Deeper View

Father Robert Lauder has returned to writing his weekly column for The Tablet following a medical leave.

The columnist paused his writing after fracturing his femur in an accident this past April. The injury required surgery and a hospital stay, followed by several months of ongoing rehabilitation. Due to his recovery, Father Lauder took medical leave from teaching philosophy at St. John’s University for the fall semester and continues to use a walker for mobility.

In his return column, Father Lauder noted that he received numerous letters and cards from readers, including former students from 50 years ago, which he described as a reminder of God's love.
