Series on “Mysteries & Medicine” by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 2)
What do you desire, and how do you respond to it? One reality of our humanity is that we can forever be dissatisfied and expect a different answer to our desires. But we are invited to let this desire, this hunger, become a pathway that brings the Lord closer to us, to offer Him the desire and to be with Him in it. This episode is the second part of our series on Fr. Isaiah’s Mysteries & Medicine, which talks about our desires—the holy, the unmet, and the sinful desires and how we should respond to them.

Have you ever wondered how Jesus experienced The Father? What was it like for Him to be in His Father’s presence in the temple? What was it like to offer himself and suffer for the Father? What was it like for Him as he loved the Father with his every being? The Father was the center of everything for Jesus—He is most likely His favorite thing, His most favorite person. Jesus profoundly desires to give us a…

The Rich Man Who Didn’t Turn
St. Francis is the rich young man who didn’t turn away sad. God invited St. Francis, and his response was even more than his heart burning for the Lord — he was consumed. There was no going back. He became more like Jesus, but without being less like Francis. He became more like Francis; not losing himself in God, but finding himself in God.

God holds an original identity, which is super important for the meaning of our lives as men and women, for the meaning of our lives as sons and daughters. The covenant of marriage is established in the garden as something deeply meaningful. It’s like a commentary on what we’re made for…
