On Pride and Humility

On the Salvation of the Eucharist
There is much to consider in the Epistle of S. Paul. While it may seem that there is a jumble of teachings, in fact there is a single link to bring each one together. This link is found in Philippians 2.12 with these words: “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” With awe, wonder,...

On Christ Known Through Preachers
A life of constantly reflecting on the fact of our Baptism means that everywhere and in all places Christ can be found, Christ can be heard, Christ can be spoken to, His divine majesty adored; and His mercy asked for and received.
