A Grain in the Earth

No matter how small, every grain thrown into the earth produces a harvest. Multiplied, it becomes food, brings comfort and saves lives. However, there is a require­ment to this production: in the earth, this grain must die...(cf. Jn 12:24).

At the Heart of SOLDARITY

Times of crisis are turning points in people’s lives, both personal and social. A person may find in it an opportunity to grow and succeed, but the opposite is also true: the situation can lead to regression and frustration. Whatever the case, a crisis is a traumatic and stressful experience, and it takes a helping hand to cope and survive.

Stopping to Contemplate 

When I saw Martin Beaupré’s painting Il n’y a pas de séparation entre nous et l’univers, I was captivated by its beauty and depth.

It transports us to the heart of infinity, where we discover a Presence.

A Meditation on Beauty

 "In everything which gives us the pure and authentic feeling of beauty there really is the presence of God. There is as it were an incarnation of God in the world and it is indicated by beauty". Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace
