The issue is spiritual hunger. Where do we wander when we fail to recognize it, and how might awareness of it bring us home?

God did indeed create pure spirits to serve and to glorify him. They are called angels. But God created us men and women to be of flesh and blood.

God’s moral creation, though it suffers the assaults of evil, will not be shaken nor become unbalanced. The good will prevail.

In Lent, we fast, we pray and we give to the poor. God does not love us more for doing these things. God cannot love us more. So why do we bother?

We know that nothing stays the same, yet we live as though nothing ever changes.

To be a creature is to have an origin, one we neither fashioned nor chose. To be a child of God is to have a destiny, one we freely choose, a gift we are given to cherish.
