It is all beauty. In its details, it is heaven on earth; in thought; in art; in meaning; in the love that is manifested in it; and in this awareness that exhorts the heart to abstain from the world as it yearns for a kingdom to come… Who would say to the brethren, who neglect ...

Divine Love
The Victory of Love
A God Who dies, this is the manifestation of love in the world. God’s ever-bleeding wound lies in the fact that we all have not understood that He is love. Most people, absolutely most of them, if they go through a hardship, still hasten to incriminate Him. God, the God of the world, is accused ...
Read moreJudas’ Faction
The sin, from which Lent calls us to flee, is that we prefer what we know about God over God Himself. We have not really understood that our hearts were created to beat with His love alone. Consider it carefully. Most of us see the good that we do as an extension of God, or ...

The world is in crisis. This was left behind by the pandemic, the economic erosion and the wars…! I did not overlook the mention of sins. I consider that the devastation they leave behind in us needs no mention. How does the world heal? This is a question which presumes that we remember that Man, ...

Lord, every time I hear You knocking on my door, I understand that a distance still exists between You and me! Why do You not demolish the distances between us? I am not asking that You privilege me from anyone, but that You see me as Your own. I believe in You. I am waiting ...
