The Experience of “I”
I was inspired to write this poem, so I thought I’d put it in place of a blog post: The Experience of I Who am “I”? “I” am. “I” know that “I” am. “I” don’t know all that “I” am. “I” know that too. “I” want to know all that “I” am. “I” do not [...]

Testimony by Deidre Van Wyke. Loneliness is a hard thing. Its presence in ones life is commanding, it affects your heart, your mind and your relationships.

The endless possibilities of Rise Up!
“What captures your heart?” This question was posed by Father Clair Watrin during Rise Up in Winnipeg and the answer to this question has come to shape who I am.

To “cradle Catholics” the question may seem ridiculous. The fact is that many people, even though they go to Mass every Sunday, may [...]
“Lost Causes” are Christ’s Lost Sheep
For 8 years I worked in the construction industry as a fire sprinkler fitter. During that time I interacted on a day to day basis with a rough group of men. It would almost seem that the industry and men working in it produced not only new construction, but also had the market cornered on [...]
The Ultimate Choice
My name is Judith Ameresekere, and I just finished my first year in psychology at SFU. If you had asked me two months ago to tell you about God I would have said that He’s this big guy up in heaven that only does things on Earth when He feels like it. I was told [...]
