Lying, Confession, and St. Andrew

Published November 30, 2013 • Written by Josue Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Lying Have you ever lied to someone? Did you mean to? Did you feel bad afterwards? What about during prayer? A friend and I recently shared a conversation about lying. In our own way, we each had entered into a state of sin; we fell short of our call to holiness and virtue. We shared… [Read More]

The Soul’s Movement at the Moment of Communion

Published October 5, 2013 • Written by Josue Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Consider this article as a monologue or an interior thought, as if someone was thinking out loud and searching for an answer within themselves. At some points, I address the soul as “her,” instead of “it.” I do this partly because St. John of the Cross uses that kind of language in his writings. It… [Read More]

Fraternity: A Place of Charity and Indulgence

Published March 20, 2013 • Written by Josue Filed Under: Young Adult

What does it take to be a man of God? The place of fraternity cultivates what we as men aspire to, masculinity. It sounds easy enough, but we don’t always cultivate the word of God in our heart (Col 3:16). We don’t always act in charity toward our brothers, sometimes we indulge in sin. Sometimes… [Read More]
