Tuesday, November 30, 20210218 Greek philosophers centuries before Christ acknowledged the immense mystery of our being human.

Father Esposito: Edith Stein — philosopher, convert, martyr, saint

Wednesday, July 21, 20210548 Few religious orders can match the Carmelites’ All-Star lineup for sanctity of life and brilliance of theological writings: John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Thérèse of Lisieux, and Elizabeth of the Trinity are the heaviest hitters in this illustrious branch of contemplatives.

Sunday, March 21, 20210366 I am not a psychologist in the modern technical sense of the term. I have no training in matters dealing with the brain or nervous system, and I possess only a rudimentary knowledge of human biochemistry.
