Our Hope is in The Lord
Welcome to Spes in Domino (Hope in the Lord). This site is dedicated to sharing my experience of the Faith as a Catholic layman, husband, and father. I explore a faithful Catholic perspective on events in the Church and in the World, and along the way showcase images and music from the vast and ancient treasury of Christian art.

"Christians also live for a time amidst perishable things, while awaiting the freedom from change and decay that will be theirs in heaven. As the soul benefits from the deprivation of food and drink, so Christians flourish under persecution." -from A Letter to Diognetus, 2nd century AD
