Just once a while, and I must say for a long while, there’s a front page story that “moves” me at a deeper level. And a story like this on one, i.e. Abducted baby found safe made me pause for a moment to offer thanks. It’s a story with its own twists and turns, highlighting…

Thinking & Praying
“When we think we generally talk to ourselves, when we pray we talk to God.” ~ Anthony de Mello via SacredGateway For two mornings when I stepped into the AugustinerKloster church at Erfurt when I was staying there, I noticed this young lady kneeling in prayer both the two mornings I was sitting in the…

Easy to die … Hard to live …
Thanks Leaving Munster for this gem … ___________________________ It is easy to die for Christ. It is hard to live for him. Dying takes only an hour or two, but to live for Christ means to die daily. Only during the few years of this life are we given the privilege of serving each other…
