What do you really hunger and thirst for?
As the friars continue through the Franciscan Lent, they dive deep into the Beatitude: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” This conversation is about holy desire, the kind that burns, refines, and draws us closer to God Himself.
They unpack what it means to let go of lesser hungers, to purify our desires, and to rediscover the fire that leads to union with God. From St. Francis’ radical poverty to our own longing for holiness, the friars remind us that this journey isn’t about doing more, but actually about becoming more like Him.
Join us as we learn to hunger for what truly satisfies, the very life of God alive within us.

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…

Trust Comes From Relationship (Rewind)
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…

The Battle
How are you able to receive and communicate with God? Silence is the divine language. God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit love and communicate in eternal silence; if we want to look at and learn about God, we must let ourselves be moved by that. However, the world has become a place of radical noise, trying to rob us of the experience of God, and there’s…
