Saying Yes to God's Call

December 14, 2025 - by Dn. Jeff Smith
The danger is not loving our families; the danger is letting our gifts overshadow the Giver. Christ does not call us to abandon our relationships and responsibilities but to hold them lightly. When our possessions become our identity, when they become the sources of meaning that we cling to tightly, they, of course, become our idols. Read more »
 

Becoming Rich Towards God

November 23, 2025 - by Dn. Jeff Smith
This story is a tragedy because the rich fool was not able to quiet his mind and to be awakened to a life in Christ, who describes a man externally successful with full barns, comfort, security, and plans for a long life. The rich man’s soul was empty while his barns overflowed. Read more »

Spiritual Quotes

 

"The great virtue of the monastic orders in Catholicism—each with an emphasis on a different work or form of manifesting love—is the recognition of the plurality of styles. Each one manifests his faith according to his personality. There’s no mandatory style. Ana is entirely Christian, but she wrongly believes that only her style—the uninterrupted seraphic smile, the unctuous gestures and folded hands, the exclusive use of pious words—is the only currency with value. In the Patericon it’s very clear: not even the Christian lifestyle of a great hermit in the Thebaid is incomparable and inimitable. The lifestyle of a random poor cobbler in Alexandria, a married man and father of children, can be higher than that practiced by St Anthony himself, the great ascetic."

      - Fr. Nicholas Steinhardt, The Journal of Joy
