Raphael’s Crucifixion – a Portrayal of the Mass

This article about the ‘Mond’ crucifixion, which is in the National Gallery in London, is another by Dr Caroline Farey of the Maryvale Institute.

How Big Is Your God?

It has taken a few years for the scales to fall off my eyes and for me to lay down my pride so I might become more teachable in my faith journey—but once I received the grace to yield to the Holy Spirit I was quickly introduced to the power of Christ resurrected.

Giving Our Riches in Christ Away

You are already satisfied; you have already grown rich; you have become kings without us! (1 Corinthians 4:8)
When ridiculed, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we respond gently. (1 Corinthians 4:13)
May the eyes of (your) hearts… Read More
