The Power of One Act of Love
The Power of One Act of Love
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
What is the greatest single act a human can perform? Saints and theologians tell us that an act of love of God is the greatest and most perfect action anyone could ever aspire to, either in heaven or on earth. A single act of agape love immediately restores or deepens the soul’s mysterious union with God (see John 14:23).

Day 338 – The Four Horsemen
By David Vermont

By Tony Jesse
There is an ancient philosophy that goes by the name of voluntarism. Voluntarism is the systematic favoring of the will over the intellect; where desire trumps truth. Broken down simply what voluntarism means is that what a person feels to be true becomes what is actually true.

Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our Image and Likeness"
By Ralph Hathaway

Humility – Love's "Test by Fire"
Humility – Love's "Test by Fire"
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
We too may need to linger over this first lesson in order to introject humility into our love. “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” (Lk 22:33) – the apostle was chastened by his failure to live up to this boast.

By Mark C. McCann
Ever since my wife and I moved into our current home I have had an ongoing battle with the shrubbery. There are times when, honestly, I don’t know who is winning the battle – the vegetation or me; but it has taught me a great deal about my soul and the necessity of regular care from the Divine Gardener each day.

Purgatory, Hell, and the Afterlife.
Purgatory, Hell, and the Afterlife.
