Full Commitment
Those who criticize doing good deeds out of habit have not yet been granted to understand that full commitment is inherent in nature.
Read moreNo one is alone!
Is any human being truly alone? A few days ago, a friend of mine, who lived alone, passed away to God. She had had her fill of years, and she departed. When I learned of her passing, I immediately went to her house. Some of her relatives and neighbors were there. We prayed together for ...
