Grace for the Pilgrimage
“Because the Christian life isn’t just a beautiful beginning. It’s a pilgrimage. There are stretches of joy, but there’s also struggle, weariness, temptation, and moments when everything in us wants to turn back. That’s why remaining in Christ requires perseverance. It requires remembering, again and again, where the journey began: in grace. It was graceContinue reading “Grace for the Pilgrimage”

By: Gabriela Yareliz The news coming out of Ceuta, Spain is disturbing and eerily similar to scenes the U.S. border experienced in the past presidential administration.

Reflections on an Equation
By: Gabriela Yareliz There is no good greater than God’s presence. And so much of life becomes a question of what evil, and sometimes what mediocre, lesser good are we willing to surrender for the greatest good of all— to see His face.
