The Quiet Time Kickstart

We are all people of habits. To some degree, we are always battling to establish good habits while battling to supplant bad ones. This is true of us in many different areas of life and most certainly true in our spiritual lives. In fact, some have argued that when we describe the way we relate…

We can sometimes believe that the Catholicism of today is materially different from that of the 16th century or that it has…
