You Were Loved First

You have crossed the threshold. What follows is not a program to complete, but an order to recover: God gives first, and everything in the Christian life flows from receiving Him. The pages below can be read in any order, but the order suggested here lets each one prepare the ground for the next.

A Suggested Path

1. How You See God Determines Everything Begin with sight. The hidden image of God within you shapes everything else.
2. The Saints God Sends God has answered every age by raising up saints: a particular remedy for a particular wound, across twenty centuries.
3. Holiness What holiness is, why it is the Church’s governing end, and why it is so often replaced.
4. The Family Your home is the domestic church — the first seminary of love, where holiness is formed before any program reaches it.
5. About the Institute Why this work exists, and the principles that govern it.
6. The Holiness Guide A practical companion for the path — more than orthodoxy, deeper than effort.
7. Abba: A Thirty-Three Day Retreat A thirty-three day return to the Father, for priest and parish together.
