My God you know, in earnest I thirst Your fire on my moisture to act. Too fast, no not, I can’t handle, Too slow, please don’t, I may fall off. Warmth of your love expels in range All what does not conform your love. Let your fire burn, slowly, stead’ly Till I’m purged of…

Dialogue now has emerged as the overarching medium of understanding, and indeed of human existence.[i] Having witnessed the short demonstration presented…
Month of November is specially dedicated to pray for the souls in purgatory. On 2nd of November we specially remember and pray for these souls.
