On Infinite Love

It is in personal love that universal love finds its most true expression. Many have heard Christ’s demand that His followers “leave… father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters” (Luke 14) and thought that Christianity is therefore a religion in…

"It is not only our world that breaks, but also our sight."

The Work of Prayer   In a matter of days, Boston’s spirit was ripped apart.   Our inboxes exploded in panic while red and blue sirens lacerated the night.  Streets trembled in a menacing silence and our worst fears were continuously…
