Are you worried for 2024? Worry is a lack of confidence, and we can be worried about much stuff.
The invitation from St. Therese and our Lord is to have confidence in Him. We who run in the way of love shouldn’t be thinking of suffering that can take place in the future. That’s a lack of confidence. The complete trust that becomes an abandonment in love sets us free from obsessive calculations, constant worry about the future, and fears that take away our peace.
If we are in the hands of a Father who loves us without limits, this will be the case come what may. We will be able to move beyond whatever may happen to us. And in one way or another, his plan of love and fullness will be fulfilled in our lives.
This episode talks about how we can confidently go into the year 2024. And with God’s grace, return to the present moment and be in a relationship with Him, with confidence and hope of what he will do in the time to come.

Serious Prayer and Serious Joy
We are anointed with the power of the holy spirit, which is the fire we’ve been given. With this fire, all of us are called to live a deep union with God—not just to live in mediocrity with our spiritual life but to set ablaze with love for the Lord. This is the first episode of our series on the Fire Within, which reminds us of the importance of being…

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!
Are we good at repenting? When someone notices our stuff and points it out… are we open to it? To repenting wholeheartedly? Or do we hold onto it? We need help repenting and finding healing, so God constantly sends prophets to speak into the lives of his chosen people. David’s a really good example of how…

Resurrection and the Reproaches (Lent 2024)
Our expectations and what God is doing can be totally different, so how should we respond to that? In the raising of Lazarus, the response of the Pharisees was to have Jesus killed. This was the tragic response of the heart when they were not open and unable to receive the mysterious and unconditional love of God. We can sometimes share the same humanity as the Pharisees too. We sometimes prefer to have Jesus out of our lives…
