The Tradition We Hold True

June 29, 2025 - by Dn. James Wilcox
Tradition, therefore, is not simply an act of remaining loyal to our past inasmuch as it is about making known the truth which was handed to us from the past. If we become too attached to the past for the sake of the past, it leaves room to ignore, dismiss, or even interpret the Gospel outside of the guidelines given to us by the Apostles of our holy tradition.

Fishers of Men

June 22, 2025 - by Dn. Jeff Smith
This is what we are all called to. We too can respond to the needs of others, not with cruelty, but with compassion and understanding, just like the midwives. We too can do as God as wills in our lives, living according to maxim, 'Thy will be done.' Read more »

Spiritual Quotes

 

"The great virtue of the monastic orders in Catholicism—each with an emphasis on a different work or form of manifesting love—is the recognition of the plurality of styles. Each one manifests his faith according to his personality. There’s no mandatory style. Ana is entirely Christian, but she wrongly believes that only her style—the uninterrupted seraphic smile, the unctuous gestures and folded hands, the exclusive use of pious words—is the only currency with value. In the Patericon it’s very clear: not even the Christian lifestyle of a great hermit in the Thebaid is incomparable and inimitable. The lifestyle of a random poor cobbler in Alexandria, a married man and father of children, can be higher than that practiced by St Anthony himself, the great ascetic."

      - Fr. Nicholas Steinhardt, The Journal of Joy
