Faith and reason

The romantic seeks only to get his head into the heavens. The rationalist seeks to get the heavens into his head – and it is his head that splits.” C.S. Lewis
Our Catholic Faith is “reasonable” but not rational; there is nothing in our Faith that contradicts reason. Reason can lead us to the door of the mysteries of our Faith, but only Faith can respond to the mystery.

Your garden of virtues
What is God doing with you?
Light of Christ

“Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian.” C.S. Lewis
Christian joy reigns in those who allow the light of Christ and the love of Christ to work in them and through them. It shows!

Avoiding Satan’s snares

“Life is indeed terribly complicated—to a man who has lost his principles.” C.S. Lewis
Small ethical concessions here and there, can eventually lead you to be completely entangled in the devil’s web. Watch and pray, and take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation to free you from Satan’s snares!

One kind word

“One word or a pleasing smile is often enough to raise up a saddened and wounded soul.” St. Therese of Lisieux
