The Greatest Gift
At the heart of love lies the gift of self.
I write and speak about the Catholic faith and about current events, cultural issues, and political issues viewed through the lens of the Catholic faith. I've written two books (The Meaning of the World Is Love: Selected Texts from Hans Urs von Balthasar with Commentary; The Book of Love: Brief Meditations), and I've written articles for Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, Catholic World Report, and Crisis Magazine. My Substack can be found at beautygoodnesstruth1.substack.com, and my website can be found at richardclements.org.

Rick Clements writes about God’s invitation to all human beings to share forever in the divine life of the Trinity, a life that consists in the eternal exchange of the gift of self.
Rick Clements writes about the journey all of us are on (whether we realize it yet or not): the journey ad Amorem, the journey toward Love, the journey back to the God who is love.
