Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart the desire to know the truth — in a word, to know himself — so that by knowing and loving God, men and women can come to the fullness of the truth about themselves.


Saint John Paul II

Welcome the Sound of Silence





Let us allow ourselves to be “infected” by St. Joseph’s silence.  We need it greatly, in a world that is often too noisy, that does not favor meditation or listening to the voice of God.

Fasting ought to be fulfilled not in abstinence of food only, but much more in cutting off vices.

God Has A Plan

 ...at the origin of every human being there is not something haphazard or chance, but a loving plan of God.
