Self-sufficiency is the enemy of salvation. If you are self-sufficient, you have no need of God. If you have no need of God, you do not seek Him. If you do not seek Him, you will not find Him.

The refrain to today’s Responsorial is from the First Reading, from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. It’s rare for the Church, in selecting Scriptural texts for Holy Mass, to weave a verse from the First Reading within the proclamation of the Responsorial Psalm.... (www.catholic365.com)

The relativism which is not willing to speak about truth but only about ‘what is true for me' is an evasion of the serious business of living. It is the mark of a tragic loss of nerve in our contemporary culture. It is a preliminary symptom of death.

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for extraordinary destiny

This is one of my favorite quotes by C.S. Lewis, who’s quite a hero of mine. He is one of the rare, beautiful people who didn’t just follow his dreams—he made a difference, and still does today. He has inspired countless millions with his writings. He was my inspiration to write The Aletheian Journe... (www.catholic365.com)
