When an army is under siege, it seeks a place in which it can defend itself. Seeking higher ground or a place that gives it shelter and protection is immediately sought out. So it must be in your spiritual life. When you experience the darts of the evil one, or when life becomes burdensome to you, especially on account of your sin, seek the higher …

It is difficult to stay friends with one who is suffering, especially when that suffering endures. Often, at first, when a soul is suffering from some illness or other difficulty, many friends come to help. But as time goes on, fewer friends maintain their love and support. This offers a test of their love and mercy. But there is one Friend who wil…

The devil is real and his temptations are real. He hates you with a pure hate and desires your destruction. This is good to know.

It’s true that no earthly image can fully reveal the perfect love of God. God is transcendent and His love is beyond what this world can contain.

Should we fear the truth? On one hand the truth can get us in trouble. Look, for example, at the Martyrs. They are witnesses to the truth with the shedding of their blood.

The words of truth, spoken from the Heart of our Lord, bring joy to our lives and rejuvenate our spirits.

However, the opposite is true also. When you listen to an error, take …

One unfortunate tendency within our fallen human nature is to “murmur” about another. It’s like a virus in that once someone starts, it passes to others quickly.

Do you see value in being reduced to nothingness in your own eyes? Perhaps not.

“Ignominy” could mean public shame, disgrace, humiliation and embarrassment. But it takes on special meaning when applied to Jesus.

Once that is done, you must let go of the past and not allow it t…
