innerchrist:
Most conservative Christians operate with the curious delusion that the Bible condemns gay sex, gay marriage, or even gay people; in fact, I saw a person just yesterday who, quoting Leviticus, said “Those gays should be put to death, and it will be their own doing.” Their argument…
Inner Christ: Theosis of Man: We Become God? →
innerchrist:
Catholic and Orthodox theology teach a doctrine called “theosis” or “deificatio”, which means “to be made God.” There are several scriptures which reveal this complex theology. It was also expounded upon by many of the Church Fathers, many of whose quotes are summed up in the Catechism of the…

appliedpsychology:
I just discovered this entry on the Nudge Blog (their tagline is “improving decisions about health, wealth, and happiness”). It’s an illustrated/cartoonized version of Dan Pink’s talk on what motivates employees and what doesn’t and I’ve embedded it here (below). It highlights the point that money isn’t always or the only solution. I love to see intelligent research and...

Joyful Abandon: Qigong Subway Meditation →
lazyyogi:
I have really found a lot of value in Qigong’s use of balance and rootedness to center the being. Recently I have turned this into a practice for riding the subways, which I do several times a day.
When you assume in the qigong standing posture, you are just resuming your own natural…

The Spirituality of Saint Therese of Lisieux
“Everything is a grace… Everything is the direct effect of our Father’s love, difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul’s miseries, her burdens, her needs. Everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness. Everything is a grace, because Everything is God’s gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events- to...

Prayer to Saint Andre Bessette
Saint Andre knew how to speak of the love of God with such intensity that he inspired hope in everyone who met him. He spoke of God as a loving Father, gave people common-sense advice, and was able to empathize with those he counseled. These traits, along with his warm sense of humor, drew people to him.
Saint Andre, your devotion to Saint Joseph is an inspiration to us. You gave your life...
Prayer to the Holy Family
Lord Jesus Christ, who being made subject to Mary and Joseph didst consecrate domestic life by thine ineffable virtues; grant that we with the assistance of both, may attain to its everlasting fellowship. Who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.

Best Painting of Saint Martin De Porres
What innocent eyes he has! This portrayal of Saint Martin De Porres reminds me of the fine and cute looking bearded Hispanic men that go to John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
This painting was created by Mark Satchwill an artist from Waterford, UK. If only all denominations of Christianity used this image to represent the real Saint Martin De Porres!

The following is quoted directly from the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
“It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani peme hung, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast. The first, Om is composed of three letters, A, U, and M. These symbolize the...

Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, honors both ascetics and the householders of all religions, and he honors them with gifts and honors of various kinds. But Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, does not value gifts and honors as much as he values this — that there should be growth in the essentials of all religions. Growth in essentials can be done in...
