That reaches the very dust.

Cruciform
February 16
"One of the favorite images I like to use for describing the Christian life is of a person standing with arms outstretched.

Love
February 14
“Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives – that is the way the world judges it – but the joy and peace it can purchase for others.”--Ven. Fulton J. Sheen
