"I could not have predicted on Palm Sunday . . . that the next few days would plunge me into the passion and death commemorated by Holy Week celebrations."
Basic	Walking Our Talk Barefooted Walking our talk barefoot is feeling our words and the depth of the injustice that in turn could subject our heart and soul to bruises, scratches, and cuts (A look at living a spiritually discalced life).
INT / ADV	You Are the Body of Christ The aim of Brother Hugh Bihl's essay is to expound a most important dimension of church theology—that we (i.e., the church members) are the Body of Christ.
Intermediate	Faith of the Heart: Commentary The light of faith, says Father Chaminade, is like the sun that brightens our day so we can see everything clearly, if we have the eyes that can see. Join Father Richard Loehrlein, SM, as he explores the light of faith through faith of the heart.
Intermediate	Faith of the Heart: The Prayer of Faith—A Communion of Knowledge and Love with God Richard Loehrlein, SM, reminds us that Father Chaminade’s solution to finding the truth was this: “Unless you believe, you will not understand.”
Basic	Concerning the Prayer of Faith (I) True love always seeks the interests of the beloved and how to please him or her. The opposite is not love but possessive self-centeredness.
Basic	Concerning the Prayer of Faith (II) Father Chaminade is emphatic: “We must remember faith belongs more to the heart than to the mind.”
