About this listen

 “If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the blind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber.” - Flannery O’Connor, A Memoir of Mary AnnAll rights reserved Spirituality

    Protecting the Holy Family
    Dec 27 2025

    What is a Holy Family? There is prayer, charity, love of others and everything else, good and bad. To be able to see your family as a holy family is to have some sense of God's presence in the midst of chaos.

  • Faith or Control?

    Faith or Control?
    Dec 20 2025

    Is having better than wanting? It depends how well you are prepared for having. We probably all have received opportunities, gifts, relationships that we just weren't prepared for. God is preparing us for his greatest gift - His Son. Would we rather be in control or can we trust in Him.
