LITURGY MATTERS: God desires YOU!

July 01, 2024 Louise Gannon rsj

Just think about that statement for a minute. Better still, ponder this question: when have you experienced God’s desire for you? We talk a lot about God’s love but seldom about God’s desire for us and for a world remade in love.

Short course enriches our faith for the long-haul

July 01, 2024 David McGovern

There is something romantic about a foreign language such as French, Spanish or Italian. For instance, I recently completed a local 'short course' on Christian spirituality; in Spain, where the course was founded, it has the exotic title 'Cursillo'.
