Historical Figures of Religious Life

By:Mawuena Quist There is a joke that, even the Holy Spirit Himself does not know the number of religious congregations or institutes in the Catholic Church. This is because, from the early life of the Church, there have always been people who by the impetus of the Holy Spirit responded to the universal call to holiness in a plethora of …

When wealth fades, love remains

It felt like the weight of the whole world was bearing down on him when his beloved wife shattered his heart with the news that she wanted to end their marriage.

John the Evangelist: Apostle, Beloved Disciple, and Visionary

Who is the beloved apostle? It is no hidden fact that he is one of the two sons of Zebedee and Salome, the woman who requested that her two sons be with Jesus at either side (cf. Mt 20:20–21) and was also at the foot of the cross (cf. Mt 27:56). All indications from the Gospel point to John, the …

ODE OF THE ANCIENT FORTRESS

By: Mawuena Quist Perceive the ancient fortress of words An abode where the archives of civilisation rest. Not mere decoration of beauty, But a mingling of chaos and grandeur, A monument shaped by many architects – No rival beauty can compare.

Pillows soaked, like Noah’s flood untamed, Heartbeats faded, silences unclaimed.   Where your love once stood, now there is a void. An empty keep, …

GRATITUDE’S SONG

By: Naa Doodua Doodu Through trials that tested my soul, From August’s weight to September’s toll, Despite the struggles, I find my voice, Gratitude swells; a heartfelt choice.

Extraordinary Gestures in Ordinary Places

There are surprises all through life, surprises that make us laugh until our sides hurt, or surprise us into remembering that sometimes the unexpected people can shine like stars in a midnight sky. What always dazzles me, however, is when people, those who are often judged or looked upon with a negative bias, suddenly go against what was expected of …

WHERE RIVERS FLOW AFTER THE STORM

When I first heard the saying “patience moves mountains,” I dismissed it as a mere façade, a hollow proverb meant to console the weary. But as the years unfolded, I came to realize that patience is not only a virtue—it is a force that reshapes destiny. It does not merely move mountains; it grinds them down to the plains, making …

A WIND OF SURPRISES

Life often appears as an unannounced storm. It is all plain sailing, then comes a sudden thunder and flash in quick succession. For me, the festive season should have been a time of joy; instead, I found myself walking through the valley of despair. I had accusations heaped on me for crimes I did not commit, deserted by those who …

JOY BEYOND BROKENNESS

It was then, when I thought that I had overcome my fears of losing her, that it hit me with the highest intensity. We were inseparable and so into each other that wherever one went, the other would always be. We did almost everything together, even joining the same social club and taking an interest in the most similar projects. …
