Series on “Mysteries & Medicine” by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 4)
Are you able to see God’s goodness? We are invited to trust and surrender that God is good and is always with us, to be rooted in the truth that God is Father, that He knows us, that He is good, and that He loves us. This is the fourth and last episode on the Mysteries & Medicine album, which teaches us how we can call out to Him and ask for the grace to trust Him and to be reunited in our identity, but most importantly, first and foremost, His identity—a deeper dive into our life journey, our pilgrimage with the one who is always with us, loves us and knows us by name.

Surrender the Stench
“Have I told Jesus all of my story?” That’s the question that we are going to unpack in this episode. Most of us have confessed and have sought healing in particular places of our lives, but there are still parts of who we are now that we keep in the dark—the stench. The reality of that stench is that it is discouraging and despairing, but Jesus comes, and He’s…

Gratitude vs Greed
People who live in a place of gratitude usually focus on what they have. On the other hand, those who struggle with greed and live in that place typically focus on what they don’t have. Both can have or do not have the same thing, but one person can experience fullness and gratitude. In comparison, one person has an experience of emptiness, disappointment…

Older Son (Spiritual Sense)
Have you ever been hurt by someone and struggled with what forgiveness is supposed to look like?
In this episode, the friars revisit the older son in the Prodigal Son story, but now through a deeper, spiritual lens. Not just what he did, but what he felt. The loss, the frustration, the sense of being overlooked, and the real difficulty of being invited into forgiveness before you’re ready.
They explore the complexity of the human heart, how joy and pain can exist at the same time, how past wounds resurface in present moments, and how God meets us not with pressure, but with presence. This conversation is an honest look at what it means to carry hurt, to wrestle with forgiveness, and to let the Father meet you in the middle of it.
Join us as we enter the older son’s story and discover a God who doesn’t rush healing, but walks with us through it.
