Awakening the Catholic
Imaginative Vision.
Weekly Update

Foundations
Authority, Freedom, and Power
Not only are authority and power not the same thing; they are almost complete opposites. Authority is the basis of human freedom. Coercive power tends to suffocate freedom.
Enrichment
Standing above the location of the momentous meeting of Saints Paul and Publius, the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Mdina is the heart of the Church of the world's first Christian nation.
Encounter the perennial truths of the faith as they are applied to particular questions of life, education, and professional disciplines.
Jesus is not weak. Jesus is the one who assailed the strong man, as he puts it in the Gospels, and he has taken on the enemy and won. He’s the one who is calling you to follow him.
