Learning to Carry Our Crosses
We all have different crosses to bear in life. We all have many differences from our fellow human beings, but one of the things we have in common is that we will all struggle. We will all do battle against the temptation and vices of the devil. Looking around, it might be hard to foresee... Continue reading→
Preparing for a Peaceful Death with St. Joseph

Fighting Sloth and Acedia
By his own admission, Josh Raymond can’t multitask.
