We humans tend to think we are the great inventors and creators of love. Love is what we spend our most precious energies on: loving the most important and rewarding thing we ever do. But love is actually a gift to us from the One who created us – God, Who not only loves more than anyone, but IS LOVE.

Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

The word ‘love’ is almost too commonplace for us to give it much thought. But love is the whole purpose of our lives; the “make or break” factor that we must get right if we want to find the happiness we were created for. It’s really worth our while to give it some deeper thought.

We differ from animals in having a spiritual soul that can reason, choose freely and take responsibility for those choices. People can put pressure on us – sometimes terrible pressure - in an attempt to limit our free will, but no-one can ultimately deprive us of our God-given freedom – unless we choose to let them.

Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

If we operate out of the idea that our conscience is simply our emotions guiding us to where we want to go or what we want to do or be, we have no real chance of living a full and happy human life. That spiritual navigation system planted in us by God which allows us to know good from evil is in shut-down. A dangerous situation to be in.

God loved me into existence. What He wants for me is happiness. And we all know the recipe for human happiness is love - given and received. So you could say God has created me in love and for love. Sounds like a very loving thing to do.

You are more than a body animated by some vague life-principle. Unlike animals and plants our human life-principle is a spiritual soul which can never be destroyed by anyone and never die. 3rd in the Truth Byte series. Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

Many people ignore God’s existence altogether. Many have negative concepts of Him. However unwelcome this thought may be to some, God is not a blind force but a person – Three Persons – who knows everything and love without limit. He is the one who gives existence to everything and keeps it there. 5th in the Truth Byte series. Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

We don’t bring ourselves into existence – obviously. All the various theories of a where a person comes from can’t explain the origin of a spiritual human soul. And as for where everything else came from, we find ourselves having to trace back through all the multiple causes in the universe to one original cause that had no cause. God!

We are creatures that spend their lives making choices – some minor and some very crucial. It is our soul that does this choosing and the choices it makes bring us in the end to an eternal destiny in heaven or hell. 2nd in the Truth Byte series. Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

Happiness is what we are all seeking after, but never completely find. This is because we were made for a greater happiness than this world can give – the happiness of heaven.
