We have a God who’s always on the move, always pursuing. In our busyness, we’re distracted — we miss things. We miss people.

For the next few episodes, we’re focusing on Habits for Holiness, a new book written by our own Fr Mark-Mary. You can find it at ascensionpress.com/habits.

The Rich Man Who Didn’t Turn
