We often end up living an «unexpected» life. Yet through it, glimmers of hope, faith, love and peace find their way through. After being married for forty years and serving the Catholic Church as a deacon for the last five years, leaving the diaconate was the last thing on my mind. Life was good – wife, home, children, grandchildren, health, retirement and an amazing ministry. Never did I expect to be a suicide survivor. Grieving the loss of my wife was difficult enough, but with suicide, the...

Жизнь учит людей многим вещам: прощению, доверию, вере, долготерпению, любви…. Люди учатся на протяжении всей своей жизни, и вещи, которые ты всегда воспринимал так или иначе, могут приобрести другое значения для тебя после встречи с определённым человеком или после определённых событий. Испытания, которые свалились на несчастные головы братьев, заставили их по-другому посмотреть на жизнь, на самих себя, на всё, что окружало их вокруг, и друг на друга. Испытания заставили их измениться и стать...

The life of the Christian community has been and is enriched by a variety...

To find out why Pope Francis is making Oscar Romero a saint, read the words that cost him his life. ”A church that does not provoke crisis, a gospel that does not disturb, a word of God that does not touch the concrete sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed – what kind of gospel is that?” Three short years transformed El Salvador’s Archbishop Oscar Romero from a defender of the status quo into one of the most outspoken voices of the oppressed.

So you might be wondering: Is spiritual communion just something between me and Jesus? Is spiritual communion of no value if I can't receive the Eucharist? Is spiritual communion «just» a private prayer or devotion? (It's none of those things.)

In this unique handbook of Christian literature, the founder of the Jesuits offers a way of «raising the mind and heart to God.» Saint Ignatius of Loyola avoids setting a formula for prayer, providing readers with an extensive variety of meditative themes. Although originally intended for those making a retreat under the direction of an experienced master, the spiritual exercises have since become much more widely known and used, and they offer an excellent resource for private devotions.
