By Dan Burke, Spiritual Direction - “The soul has only one will, and if it occupies itself or encumbers itself with anything, it will not remain free, solitary, and pure, as is required for divine transformation” (Ascent of Mt. Carmel I, 11,6). This teaching of St. John of the Cross is in perfect harmony with the fundamental precept of Jesus: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength and with all thy mind”...

By Luke Heintschel, St. Philip Institute of Catechesis and Evangelization - Academic discussions can seem disconnected from and irrelevant to our daily lives, but perhaps I can briefly attempt to persuade otherwise… Many of the problems in the world today in some sense trickle down from academic discussions into everyday life.

By Rev. James V. Schall, S.J., Crisis Magazine - “Can a woman forget her nursing child that she should have no compassion for the son of her womb?” ∼ Isaiah, 49:15... …. Man was willed by God in a specific way; not just as a creature that is ‘there,’ but as a creature that knows him, not just as an idea that he thought, but as a creature that can, in turn, think of him.” ∼ Joseph Ratzinger, 1977
