The Holy Spirit

8 April 2025

The Holy Spirit rests in the soul of the just like the dove in her nest, hatching good desires in a pure soul, as the dove hatches her young.

        Saint John Vianney

Whatever you do, think of the glory of God as your main goal.

Seek and Serve the Truth

6 April 2025

No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it.

      Saint Maximilian Kolbe

Plea for Spiritual Cleansing and Guidance

Almighty and everlasting God, at evening, and morning, and noon day, we humbly beseech Thee that Thou would drive from our hearts the darkness of sin and make us come to the true Light, which is Christ; which is the same Jesus Christ Thy Son.

The End Draws Near

4 April 2025

The end draws near, O my soul, the end draws near. Yet thou dost not care or make ready. The days of our lives pass swiftly, as dream, as a flower. Why do we trouble ourselves in vain?

The Liturgy

3 April 2025

Christian liturgy was a celebration of the presence of the living Christ. It is not the memorial meal commemorating something that happened in the past. As Augustine said on a sermon of Psalm 22, the great psalm of Christ's passion, the liturgy "makes present what took place in time past, and in this way it moves us as if we were watching our Lord hanging on the cross."

Holy Indifference

2 April 2025

Holy indifference is a ceasing of either to desire or to will, except in cooperation with the divine leading.  Its desires for itself, as it has greater light, are more completely and permanently merged in the one higher and more absorbing desire of God’s glory and the fulfillment of his will.
