To the deaf, dumb and blind – the stones – of the world

The Father’s pleasure – Thought for the day
It is the pleasure – great pleasure – of the Eternal Father to give us all He has, all He owns. And let us face it: the Father owns everything, visible and invisible, whether we like it or not; whether we admit it or not. But we have to want to receive all that our [...]

The purity of the Father – Thought for the day
God the Father is pure, immaculate and terrifyingly majestic in His holiness. They are a purity and holiness which need to be witnessed, to start being comprehended. How can we expect Him to come and reside in us with His Presence, which He so intensely desires to do – a gift, a grace He wishes [...]
