We have some pretty strong feelings on this topic, and it shows in this week’s episode.
Passing through purgatory is the experience that prepares us for heaven. There’s no greater insight into what purgatory is like than family life or community life.

Each person’s personality — our most and least favorite parts — is a gift, and it’s all about how we receive the uniqueness of each person in his or her personality. Each trait speaks…

Trust God With Your Past
Week 2 of a series on a 30-Day Personal Retreat with the Litany of Trust, by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V. Grace is in the present; there is no grace in the past or in the future.
