Whose Voice am I Listening to?

When we witness a massive wildfire, it’s incredible to consider that it could have started with just a single spark of a flame, one match. Our ideas are similar to this in that by accepting or rejecting one idea can have a massive impact on our lives. One single idea can change the entire course of a person’s life. The simple call “Follow me” led to the conversion of the evangelist Matthew, while the teaching on the Eucharist was the spark that eventually led to the betrayal of Judas.[1]

Ideas come to us at all times and we can left unsure of how to respond to them. Is this something good? Evil? Indifferent?

Restoration in Christ: Restoration of the Human Person

Sr. Mary, Star of Evangelization, SSVM

“Restoration” of itself implies two things: an original order and a subsequent disorder. Without providing too many statistics or meticulously interviewing many different people, I assert without fear that all would universally agree that we dwell in a state of disorder. That something isn’t quite right with the world. That things could be or should be better. That things are “messed up.”

The Question We Cannot Live Without

Fr. Christopher Etheridge, IVE

There is one question that we cannot live without: Why.

From the earliest years of our childhood the first word we probably learned to say was “No” (because we heard our mother and father say it so much). However, the first question we usually we learn to ask is “why”.

It is the first because it is the most important. From that question we begin to learn what things are. Our minds begin to open up to the world around us.

Today Holy Mother Church calls us to celebrate the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. Perhaps the greatest persecutor of the Church is transformed by the grace of Christ, and freely becomes a great Apostle to the gentiles and eventually a martyr. In the letters of St. Paul, which have fed the souls of the saints and all Christians since the beginning of the Church, we can find many profound insights to the mystery of Christ and His Church, although perhaps none more profound than his understanding of the mystery of the Holy Trinity dwelling within us[1]. In this blog, taking points from Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J.’s God Within Us, we aim to bring awareness to the great mystery “hidden from ages” of the dwelling of the Holy Trinity within souls by grace.
