We have to understand that we are going through different journeys. God is doing something completely different in our lives, and we must be attentive to that. Let us not be so quick to judge—everything is not as simple as it may seem. As we continue our journeys through life, we will constantly encounter our own and other people’s struggles, flaws, weaknesses, and even sins. In our Catholic life, many questions will come our way, and in this episode, we’ll try to answer a few of them. Here is another one of our Hot Takes episodes that discusses essential topics most of us can relate to. In this episode, we’ll be going through the following topics:
An Individual Who Lives In a Society
Can Men and Women Be Friends?
Jesus’ 5 Favorite Things

Discerning God’s Work in You
How does Jesus come alive in you? We are invited to share in the heart of Jesus, who wants to heal the world and do His works even now. There are patterns and consistencies in how He works in our lives that are also personal and particular. These are revelations that are not abstract or different but unique and personal to each one of us. In this episode, we’ll try explaining that…

Jubilee and the Good Samaritan
Why do we leave what’s good and search for answers in places that break us? This week, the friars unpack the story of the Good Samaritan through the lens of the Jubilee year.

We may not be in the chapel or church making a eucharistic holy hour, but no matter what our day-to-day experiences look like or what daily lives we are accustomed to, God is there.
