A life marked by silence is not just for monastics or religious. We all need to make space for silence. The benefits of silence are necessary for both our bodies and our souls. “Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." (Mark 6:31).

With modern education, children are in a world centered on accomplishment rather than eternity. Fathers play a particular role in their children's spiritual upbringing.

All the saints are centered on God and they seek to pull us into that center through their prayers and support.

After time spent in the confessional, a priest, in due time, will begin to recognize that the genesis of a great deal of suffering is due to sin.

A father’s work is cultivated in the home, doing the difficult things like creating order, discipline, and structure. A father’s work demands that we engage in family life, not just be casual observers.

When we open our minds and hearts to receive God’s Word, He speaks to us and the more we enter deliberately into God’s silence, we will become attuned to listening more closely.

The best way to engage in spiritual warfare, therefore, is not to pray against the evil directly but to pray for what is positive. The best way to counter all that is ugly, evil, and false is to support all that is beautiful, good, and true

One of the benefits of enjoying a Christian life is the contemplation prayer brings. It is critical to set aside time for daily reflection and prayer and bring clarity to our purpose in this life – to glorify God in all we do.
