“His love teaches me how to love!”
The first course of Fully Alive 2018 was given by Jenna Kish, and talked about our interior life. Affections are part of being human, feel your feelings. Order everything to Love’s will.

The topic Vitor talked about today was one that at first seems a bit scarier than yesterday’s one. Because there are so many things happening in the world that seem incompatible with the joyful cocoon that the knowledge of God’s love created around us – but there is a simple explanation for this: sin. It is the thing that separates us from God, from experiencing everything He wants to give us. Saying no to Him, kicking Him ...
