Life and circumstances are undeniably hard, but we are not alone in this. The beautiful reality is that even when we leave prayer and go into the world, we may leave God but He never does. God is still always with us — within us.
Knowing that the Lord is dwelling within us, it does change how we navigate through whatever is happening in our lives. It doesn’t mean that our problems will go away instantly or that it will fix it immediately, but there can definitely be a drastic change on how we approach and live our lives.
This episode talks about this gift of the Holy Trinity dwelling in us, its’ importance and how we can access that.

Perseverance Not Pretty
Do you think God calls us to be perfect or just to be pretty? I think not. What we’re called to is not pretty or perfection but perseverance. Sometimes, having a very happy-looking social media feed is much easier than having a happy heart and home in reality. But we’re not going for things to look good; instead, we’ll be good and persevere in this goodness…

When One Door Closes…
What do you do when the plan you had suddenly falls apart?
In this episode, the friars reflect on the role of closed doors in discernment, those moments when something we hoped for, planned for, or tried to control simply doesn’t happen. A missed flight, a changed plan, a lost opportunity, a relationship that doesn’t unfold the way we imagined… sometimes reality interrupts us and invites us to listen more deeply.
Rather than seeing every closed door as failure, the friars explore how these moments can become places of surrender, curiosity, and trust. Not because every disappointment is easy or painless, but because Jesus is present even there. The Resurrection reminds us that no door is more closed than the sealed tomb, and even there, God was not finished.
Join us as we learn to trust Jesus in the detours, the disruptions, and the closed doors, and discover that what feels like an ending may become the place He begins something new.
