In one form or another, we can sometimes live in isolation and hiding. Because of shame and sin, we clothe ourselves with shadows and hide. These lies we hide behind keep us stuck and paralyzed—Jesus wants to call us out of that. The places of hiding don’t have to defeat us, but they can become these intimate places where the Lord desires to be.
This episode is the third part of our Lenten series on Fr. Mark Toups’s Lenten Companion, which talks about the Well as a place of shame and intimacy. This episode shows us the reality of renunciation and what it means to leave the shadows behind.
An invitation to say “no more lying and hiding,” an invitation to be honest that the shadows affect us, an invitation to name our struggles or sins, and an invitation to remember that brokenness never defines us. This a reminder that God is always in search for us, that we are pursued even as sinners, and that He wants to shed light on our darkness.

Loving to the End
The first big “yes” — when we originally orient our lives to Christ — is not the most important. It’s the later yesses, of a deeper surrender and trust and giving of our lives, that mean a lot more. At some point, it’s not enough to be doing the right things; there must still be a desire for even…
