Matt Talbot was one of twelve children born to a poor family in Dublin. His addiction to alcohol began at twelve, when he got his first job with a wine merchant.

Our life journeys will have twists and turns. But we never walk it alone.

Clinging to something that does not bring us life means clinging to our sure death.

When we don’t turn away from our own suffering and declare it unworthy of compassion, consolation, and love, we learn to recognize pain rather than run from it.

Meditation is a widely practiced, little-understood discipline. And it's especially needed now.

Let's reset our lives! Refocus and restore priorities that continually serve our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
