Christ on Campus: Your Body is Beautiful

By Higher Things on Mar 08, 2019 01:56 am

Ash Wednesday 2010

By Higher Things on Mar 06, 2019 03:03 am

“Mercy looks like a cross” — Quinquagesima 2019

By Higher Things on Mar 04, 2019 12:56 pm

Jesus has to die for sinners, but when we don't see that as the greatest expression of love, the religion seems pointless. The Holy Spirit reveals to us who the Son of David is and opens our mouth to beg for mercy, then to eat and drink it.
