5th Commandment: You shall not kill
The commandment “you shall not kill” is an invitation to treasure life as a gift. It goes beyond not causing physical harm, to loving and respecting every human life from its very beginning to its natural end.
Big Hearts, Broad Minds
Generosity gives us magnanimous hearts, capable of holding more happiness and reaching out to more people. This article is part of a series on the virtues, inspired by St. Josemaría’s homily “Human Virtues.”
Christ's Presence in Christians
This homily by St. Josemaria isn't just a set of beautiful thoughts about Easter: it's a conversation starter so you can talk to the Risen Christ in your life right now.
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Lent is not about switching life off. It's not a dimmer that plunges us into a grey, joyless survival exercise. It's not a season to just endure until Easter arrives. It's the opposite: it's returning to the place where the heart rests, recovering the desire for real joy. It's a time to clear your vision and let the light back in, to live in color.
The Fast Nobody Talks About
Nightingales have to stop and take a breath before they can sing. Lent is like that for us. Do you have the freedom to put your phone down in order to take that breath?

He barely speaks in the Gospels, but his actions tell the story of a man who packed up in the night, trusted a dream, and built a life in an unknown country with nothing to prove and everything to give.
The Usefulness Trap
"To be of service, serve," Saint Josemaria wrote. What does that mean for Christians who want to make a difference in the world? How do we avoid the danger of perfectionism?
Tony: “You don’t know your destination right now”
Tony works in recruitment for schools, one step removed from the classrooms his work makes possible. In this video, he shares how seeing that distance not as a limitation but as a form of service unlocked a freedom and peace he never expected to find in his career.
What is freedom, really?
In a do-whatever-you-want kind of culture, we might think that freedom means having no limits. But are you really free if you don’t know what you want?
Happiness isn’t a destination (and other advice you’ll want to hear)
What does it actually take to be happy, and why do so many people get it wrong? Harvard professor Arthur Brooks and psychologist Isabel Rojas share the science, the stories, and the surprisingly simple habits that can change everything in the first episode of “The World is Waiting for Us,” a Youth podcast.
