Clinging to the elder brethren in the Church does not always indicate following them in love! There are people, who have accompanied elders, bishops, priests, and others, who followed them in worship meetings, and upon whom fell pearls from their words and deeds, and nevertheless, they remained alien to their secret, strangers to the awareness ...

The Concern of Believers
When the Apostle Paul concluded an opinion that he gave in an urgent Church matter by saying: “and I think I also have the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 7:40), he ruled that there is no freedom of opinion without openness to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is the concern of the believers ...
Read moreSilence in Politics!
I now have a political solution to the political programs! I am speaking seriously. You must be watching our local channels! The news of our country is drawn from here first. I am just like you. I will tell you. A few days ago, my son, who has concluded his visit to us yesterday, went ...
Read moreThe Ink of Renewal
Committed writing always requires some of the serenity of hermitages. I dare say that it is some kind of asceticism! We can scent its perfume in the words of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (+1935): “I have no ambitions nor desires. To be a poet is not my ambition, it is simply my way of ...
Read moreIs There A Christian Fanaticism?

How long will we remain strangers to prayer ...
Read moreThe Art of Administration
He has never left out an occasion without inviting me to visit him at the school he administers. I would not be exaggerating if I told you that, if we meet accidentally on the road, instead of the day’s greeting, he says: “when will you be visiting me?”. Today before noon, I visited him. We ...
Read moreMy Political Stance
In our country, we claim verbally (pay attention to the word: verbally) that, in politics, no person is neutral. I would have hoped that this claim is true; that is, that every human being would have a political consciousness of his own. I am generalizing. I say every human being without distinguishing between a man ...
