Have you ever wanted to forgive, but just couldn’t seem to get there?
This week, the friars reflect on the call to “be merciful as your Father is merciful” and the real, often slow journey of forgiveness. They unpack the tension of holding pain while still being invited into mercy and how forgiveness isn’t something we force, but something we receive and grow into over time.
Through the lens of the older son, they explore what it means to stay close to the Father, to “borrow” His heart, and to take small, honest steps toward healing, even when it’s hard.
Join us as we discover how God meets us in our wounds and gently leads us into freedom, one step at a time.

This episode kicks off a four-part series on a new retreat based on the Litany of Trust from the Sisters of Life. There are some virtues we can work on and grow in — but trust isn’t like that. It’s not your own project. You don’t work on it directly, because it’s the fruit of relationship with the Lord. If you want to develop more…

Discerning God’s Work in You
How does Jesus come alive in you? We are invited to share in the heart of Jesus, who wants to heal the world and do His works even now. There are patterns and consistencies in how He works in our lives that are also personal and particular.

Human Stuff
Why are the most ordinary parts of life often the hardest to navigate?
In this episode, the friars lean into the everyday realities we all deal with: conflict, communication, expectations, and the awkward moments we’d rather avoid. From navigating tough conversations to managing unspoken expectations and misunderstandings, they talk honestly about how “human stuff” can quietly shape our relationships for better or worse.
Rather than offering quick fixes, the conversation invites us to grow in maturity, courage, and clarity to stop avoiding discomfort and start choosing honesty, vulnerability, and charity in the messiness of real life.
Join us as we laugh, reflect, and learn how God meets us right in the middle of our very human stuff.
