For Veteran Astronaut and Catholic Tom Jones, Space Was a Spiritual Experience

Leslie Miller was kind enough to prepare a brief write-up of the importance of my spiritual life to my work and success in space. I speak about the all-important help God and the saints provided, not least the sense of giving up my worries and anxieties to the Lord, which let me focus on the intense and demanding work ahead of me from launch through landing. You can imagine I had one of the most meaningful Thanksgivings I’ve ever experienced when thanking God from orbit on STS-80. The food? Not great. But the sense of peace? Unmatched.

Take a few minutes and enjoy. https://www.catholicherald.com/News/Local_News/For_veteran_astronaut_and_Catholic_Tom_Jones,_space_was_a_spiritual_experience/#main_carousel
