When I pass in front of St. Joseph Retreat House at Rabat Malta, it keeps coming into my mind and heart a very nice quote found in the corridor, precisely at the second floor of this peaceful building: The love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay. Love isn’t love till you give it away. Continue reading A motivating quote

Angel of God, my guardian dear
On every second day of the month of October, the Church celebrates the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. Within a context where many tend to be allured by the kingdom of darkness’ deceit in that they engage themselves in every type of occult, spiritualism, esotericism, witchcraft, New Age and so forth, that easily open the door for the evil one to come in and take the reigns in one’s life and family, it is so important to emphasize that we are not alone in this world!

Good transforms evil
The prominent Russian Orthodox religious philosopher, Nikolai Berdyaev (1874-1948), once wrote: “Every moral act of love, of mercy, and of sacrifice brings to pass the end of the world where hatred, cruelty, and selfishness reign supreme”. Am I ready to lit the candle of love, mercy and sacrifice amid the darkness of hatred, cruelty and selfishness around? In so doing will I not help the good to transform evil?
