One day a woman came to me and told me that she could never love her husband again. I told her to try and think back to how much she loved him the day of their marriage, as they stood side by side at the altar. For that is the way he really was. What the woman had to do was to...

Just suppose that there were a great plague which affected a wide area of the world. Then some doctor in his laboratory found the remedy for this plague and made it available to everyone. There would be some who would seek the remedy. There would be others who would not. They...

When God with his divine nature came down to this world and took upon himself the human nature from the womb of his Blessed Mother, he took upon himself an instrument. Once God took upon himself our human nature, He could act in our name. And everyone of the actions of that hu...

What purpose did God have in mind in making this world? The answer is that God intended to build a moral universe. He willed from all eternity to build a stage on which characters would emerge. He might have made a world without morality, without virtue, without character. He...

If we are to find the source of light, we must go out to something that is pure light. If we wish to find the source of the life and the truth and the love that is in this world, we must seek out a life that is not mingled with the shadow of death; we must seek out a truth tha...
