Courage Facing Adversity The heart of Perseverance and Analysis is in Courage and Willpower, the indomitable spirit of the soldier of Christ. Within Resurrexit Spiritus’s expansive comprehension of human spiritual existence, Courage is our shield against the hatred, metal honed to withstand the many foul blades of lies and against the sins of Cowardice and…

Endurance in Face of Discord Beloved seeker after divine strengths in God’s truth, let us direct our gaze toward another important virtue ever fortifying the soldier in Christ: Patience. Spiritual warfare is impossible with a sensitive and bruised noggin, Patience serves as a helmet, protecting the mind from the relentless assaults of discord and delay.…

Analysis and Prudence So let us explore the notion of mind as a battlefield, where divine truth clashes with worldly deceits. The mind is an element of spirit and body which must be harnessed and shaped, like all other interactions of the spirit with body, through disciplined virtue-building, lest it succumb to demonic oblivion.

Light Expansive; Fear Naught Dear beloved of God, let us now reflect on the journey that has brought us here to discuss the words of Paulus as inspired by his own journey with the Highest. Paulus’s letters are constructed as living wisdom, written for all in their artistically allegorical way, but most especially crafted for…

Our Stories of Acceptance, Rejection, Craft, Product, Egoism, Altruism, Mastery, and Power Let us now step back from the individual domains of Resurrexit Spiritus and see how they all weave together into a single and coherent framework. Of course, this is merely a “best” theoretical construct, imperfectly reflecting our human journey toward spirit, which also…

Replication and Reinforcement Recognitions in virtues are inherently cyclical and dynamic in nature. There is a continuous process of recognition and response, intertwined with both grace and intentional effort; encompassing the present moment (which reflects the past experience of God’s love) and extending into the future (the love that we actively choose to give to…
