Every human being is an infinite world, an immortal soul and a miraculous work of God, which He repeats with every new birth. The universe inside us is as fragile as it is beautiful. How can we keep it undefiled and sustain its beauty?

A sensory garden is a territory that provides favourable conditions for interaction with nature and exploration of the world using one’s senses: eyesight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It is designed using plants, substances and much more.

We have come to the Church in order to break away from the captivity, from the darkness, from the pit, and to start a new life where everything will be in God: my health issues, my salary, all relationships that I have.
To be honest, I’m nobody. I know that but I also know that there is the devil who sneers at me gleefully, “Aha! You’re done!” I say, “No, I’ve only just begun. I want to change. I want to be different. I want to serve God.”
