Il grandit quelques années avant la troisième croisade, à une époque qui, écrit Julien Green, hésite « entre heur et malheur », comme si elle « attendait la venue de quelqu'un ». François connaît l'oisiveté et les plaisirs des jeunes gens riches de son temps. Il rêve de connaître le monde, de devenir grand prince, chevalier.

By following the lead of saints, we can learn to embrace a simple and profound way of life in communion with Christ and with others.

The word 'chastity', at first sight, may seem intimidating, something to be dismissed out of hand. It is, however, something very different to celibacy. At a time when religion is in decline in the Western world and when it often seems that the senses have run riot, Erik Varden shows that chastity, the single minded direction of the senses, is a loveable quality and one that affects and beautifies humankind.

My name is Thomas, and like the apostle I was named after, I have had my share of doubts. But I have also had a deep longing—a longing for unity among believers in Christ. I grew up Roman Catholic, went to Mass weekly, memorized catechism answers, and felt a deep respect for tradition. But when I married a Protestant woman and began attending her church too, a flood of questions washed over me. Why were we so divided when we professed the same creeds? Why did we debate communion, baptism, saints, and Scripture as if they were walls between us rather than shared treasures?

The author, Fr. Henri Morice, helps you see the bad things that happen to you in the glorious light of God's loving Providence.

When Jesus ascended to heaven in full view of his disciples, He showed the disciples what He told them in John 14—that he was going to prepare a place for them. While Jesus literally demonstrated what He said, we have turned many of Jesus’ teachings into figurative statements instead of the literal truths they are. What if Jesus meant “whoever lives and believes in me will never die” literally? What if Jesus, Enoch, and Elijah demonstrated how we are meant to access heaven instead of through death?
