The Didache 12 – Be Meek
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. Rather, be meek, since the meek shall inherit the earth.

This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. And also concerning this, it has been said, Let your alms sweat in your hands, until you know to whom you should give. Do you have the money for your alms identified? Does it “sweat” while you wait for the Spirit [...]
The Didache 8 – Examined
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. Happy is he who gives according to the commandment, for he is guiltless. Woe to him who receives; for if one receives who has need, he is guiltless; but he who receives not having need shall pay the penalty, why he [...]

And If I Don’t Heal?
