A long time ago, I didn’t feel my feelings. I didn’t bother with them. If they became intense, I shunned them.
To me, all desires were sinful. And all emotions were just part of the “flesh”, not of the “spirit”. Feelings were the enemies of God. At the very least, they […]

Let me begin with one of my favorite stories…

Shocked, the woman walked away in […]

A few months ago, God refreshed me.
I was invited to give a retreat to a group of missionary priests in Mindanao. Believe me, these guys were the real Indiana Jones. But they weren’t searching for earthly treasure. They would go to the farthest, the most dangerous corners of the planet to find another kind […]

I believe that Heaven and Hell starts here, right here, right now. How? By the way you live your life each day.
Remember: Your afterlife will be a mirror image of what is in your heart. But it will be eternally multiplied.

Do you have future plans of going to Heaven?
(No rush going there, by the way.)
I’ve never been to Heaven, but from reading the Bible and the writings of Saints and spiritual authors, let me describe three important things about Heaven…

I have an announcement to make: You’re an immortal being.
You will never die.
This is a bit difficult to swallow because we seem to be dying already. We see its undeniable evidence whenever we look at the mirror. We see that a few parts of our body have started to die.
