May 30, 2009 · This book is the topic of a Lenten book study group at my church, so having a priest to guide us is very helpful.

When you have worked through these six areas, what might your Rule of Life look like? I know from personal experience how hard it can be to outline a concrete pattern of life.

Nov 30, 2023 · The creed’s first article reveals a Creator whose actions are driven by love—nay, who is love. We are defined in relation to this fatherly Creator as creatures who are loved with an eternal and unending love, a love that takes on flesh.
