Thirsting for God
By Fr. William Wagner, ORC
The way to holiness begins not with our desire for God, but with God’s thirst for us. He lights the spark which we must fan into the flame of love by advancing through the “school of love” at the hands of the angel. Every act of love calls for a greater act until we reach perfection. |

The Sevenfold Song of Love
By Fr. William Wagner, ORC
Divine charity, though a gift of grace, requires our cooperation. Its measure is not how much we “feel” we love God, but how much we live love by the practice of virtue. The Saints inspire us with their own example of virtue and love, teaching us the way of love. |

Holiness in Daily Life
By Fr. Titus Kieninger, ORC
The secret of holiness is the recognition and response to God’s loving call of the soul. God thirsts for man, and man must allow himself to be loved and found by God. For sanctity in Christian life consists in conformity with the will of God according to the example of the holy angels. |
