The Paths of Righteousness

Each reflection in this series takes one movement of Psalm 23  and explores it as both mystical experience and daily practice - the way  the inner life of prayer becomes embodied in the rhythms of ordinary  living - motivated by love, creativity, and joyful anticipation of Christ’s return.

This Series Includes:

The Path of Faith

The Path of Stillness

The Path of Stillness

Everything begins with trust. To walk this path is to believe that God is real, that He is good, and that He calls you by name.

Discipline: Silence and Surrender.

Every soul must pass through the valley. Here, love is purified of  fear and self-interest. What once seemed absence becomes hidden  presence.

Discipline: Perseverance in Trust.

The Path of Communion

The Path of Communion

At the table, the soul learns generosity. It receives divine love not as possession but as gift to be shared.

Discipline: Compassion in Action.
