We are […] Source: Bring Healing to Your Wounded FriendshipsShare this:Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new...

Growing up with a twin sister, I always had a fondness for St. Scholastica, twin sister of St. Benedict.

I’ve often thought about the pious tradition around her life, in particular the story of […] Source: Saint Scholastica’s Lesson on True RelationshipsShare this:Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new...

I love everything about the Feast of the Visitation: the graciousness of Mary going in haste to celebrate the joy of the Annunciation with her cousin Elizabeth; the gift of friendship as St. Elizabeth encourages Mary in her role as Mother of God and Mary assists Elizabeth in her final months of pregnancy.

Those of us who live in the West live in cultures that pride themselves on autonomy, individualism, and a will-to-power. According the philosophies that undergird our culture, we as individuals are the harbingers of truth and freedom. We don’t need people.

É bom poder amar na terra como se ama no céu, e aprendermos a amar neste mundo como havemos de fazer eternamente no outro. Aqui não me refiro ao simples amor de caridade, porque temos que ter este amor por todos os homens; refiro-me à amizade espiritual, no âmbito da qual duas, três ou mais… Ler mais » Source: Amizade espiritual – Filhas de São Paulo É bom poder amar na terra como se ama no céu, e aprendermos a amar neste mundo como havemos de fazer eternamente no outro. Aqui não me refiro ao simples amor de caridade, porque temos que ter este amor por todos os homens; refiro-me à amizade espiritual, no âmbito da qual duas, três ou mais pessoas permutam entre si a devoção e os afectos espirituais, tornando-se realmente um só espírito.
