A good friend.

It is not one truth we live to, but many. If we ever hope to determine if there is such a thing as truth, apart from

It thus transforms our impatience and our doubts into the sure hope that God holds the world in his hands and t

There is a limit to human charity," said Lady Outram, trembling all over."There is," said Father Brown dryly, "and that is the real difference between human charity and Christian charity.

I am sure that you will move one level high on the spiritual plane. Like prayers, doing charity once is not enough. You have to do it continuously, as much as possible.
