About Us

Perpetuating the work, ideas, and writings of Fr. Albert J Fritsch SJ (9/30/33 - 3/5/24). We who worked together with Fr. ritsch over the last several decades on the Earthhealing.info mission plan to honor the rich legacy of his works by continuing to release his writings, as he had long planned for us to do. Each week, we will post Fr. Fritsch's essays, and there are many new Daily Reflctions and special essays yet unpublished. We will continue our principal service by publishing a Daily Reflection on pertinent subjects.

This website began in 2004 and will continue as long as materials are available and funding permits. The weekday Reflections cover a variety of simple living topics and the weekend writings include homilies and other sacred issues. A variety of essays and poems appear here as well. We hope you find these and the other writings offered on the website beneficial.
