Learning the Power of God's Desire

How has our society organized after Christendom? What implications does that have to our ordinary expectations? Do the Scriptures point us in a more helpful direction? Fr. Allen asserts that they do.  Using the rubrics of "Desire" and "Covenant" Fr. Allen explains how God wants to help us channel our "wanting" in a way that helps us live in a freer, less grasping way.
