We explore how his Annunciations and Crucifixions do more than depict events; they create sp...

From the first ash to the final Alleluia, we walk through practices and resources that help you stay grounded, attentive, and alive to grace. We start with the why: choosing the right spiritual reading keeps the heart...

It’s easy in retrospect to understand the need for divine intervention in 1858. The Church had gone through one of its worst periods possible in Europe. It had not quite recovered from the French Revolution. New governments, new revolutions attacked the Church and the people. In 1848, the Archbishop of Paris was murdered when yet another revolution to...
