My Spirit Rejoices

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

Who will say with Mary: The Lord has looked with favor on my lowliness. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

Is God Calling You?

Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Jan 14, 2018

It was believed then, as at now, that we are called to different vocations in life and whatever we do is a result of our obedience to a divine plan. Therefore the carpenter was in service ...read more
