Series on “Prepare Your Heart” by Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR. (Part 3)
What’s the best thing you learned from St. Joseph? Advent teaches us that God has a different way of doing things, and St. Joseph is a fantastic example and witness. Throughout his life, St. Joseph should’ve had the opportunity to grasp human comfort or control, but instead, he chose to enter into humility, into silence; he didn’t overthink, he didn’t overtalk, but rather, he trusted and was obedient to God while being completely attentive to Mary and Jesus. This Advent, just like St. Joseph, we are invited to be radically open to what God wants us to do. Advent is not about evaluating everything but being with the most important ones and anchoring ourselves to God like St. Joseph did.
This is the third part of this year’s Advent series, where we continue to look into the lives of different saints of Advent, and for this episode, we’re talking about the heart and experience of St. Joseph.

Learning God’s Voice
How can we bring our feelings to the Lord? Once we have a sense of what we are feeling and why we are feeling that way, this would be the next step that we’re invited to do—to turn to Jesus in prayer in great faith and trust, then relate and bring these feelings to him and let him respond to it. In this episode, we’ll talk about how we can convey our emotions to the Lord and what it would look…

Restoring Our Actions and Attitudes
How do we act? What are our attitudes toward our relationships, lives, and vocations? This week, the invitation to restoration is to start living like Jesus, and we present the Beatitudes as a way to make this happen in our lives. The Beatitudes are Jesus’ actions and attitudes. They reflect His heart—a reflection of living in a relationship with Him and ultimately being transformed…
