What is God trying to point out to
us daily? What is He saying?
Faith
is not just an intellectual exercise. It’s a relationship with the Lord.
Slowly reading and meditating upon the Word of God daily
is a great way to "hear" the Lord's voice and deepen one's prayer
life.
See our Daily Readings section to read scripture "in union with
the Church";
a meaningful way organized by the Church to be coherent and complete.
Here are some pages with various reflections and
meditations
to help us in our daily walk and spiritual growth:

What
about Fasting ?
E5 Men
“Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for
her.” (Eph. 5)
Jesus gave up his body for his bride, the Church, and E5 Men give up their
bodies for their brides through fasting.
