You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. |

What is Spiritual Direction and How to Find a Spiritual Director
What is spiritual direction and what is a spiritual director? I had never heard these terms before until a few years ago.

So, what is my verse for the New Year? Continue reading
