Series on Fire Within by Fr. Thomas Dubay, S.M. (Part 2 of 8)
Growth in spiritual life is always challenging. In the beginning, it’s gonna take a LOT of effort. But as it goes on, you’ll notice that it becomes more and more the Lord’s work and less and less contingent on our human work. This is the second episode of our series on the Fire Within that talks about how St. Theresa sees the “giftedness” of advanced prayer and the relationship between prayer and the profound growth in the spiritual life.

Prayer, Presence, Party
What do you do after Easter Sunday? We are invited to be overwhelmed with paschal joy during the Easter season.
