Series on 12 Step Wisdom (Part 2 of 3)
When we struggle it can be really difficult and sometimes we even face impossible situations that may feel like there’s no answer. In our poverty, there’s the need to admit were powerless — that life is not okay anymore and figure out what do we do with that.
And as we are brought to our knees — utterly defeated. We can let go of ourselves as our own authority and give ourselves to a greater power, to Christ. Only then we can make a daily decision to turn our will to the care of God — say Yes to the connection we have with Him everyday even with all the craziness that’s going on.
This episode talks about the first three steps of The Twelve Steps that allows the foundation of our lives and our hearts to be set in experiencing renewal and recovery. And it is a reminder that tells us when we can’t, Jesus can. We just have to let him.

Fr. Angelus Returns
Ever feel like God is inviting you back to something but you’re not quite sure how to step into it?
After time away, Fr. Angelus returns, and the conversation picks up right where grace has been quietly at work. There’s a sense of homecoming here, but also a deeper invitation to listen, to trust, and to respond to what the Lord is doing beneath the surface.
In this episode, the friars reflect on what it means to return, not just physically, but spiritually. They talk about the movements of the heart, the subtle ways God calls us forward, and how renewal often begins in places we didn’t expect.
Join us as we welcome Fr. Angelus back and lean into the quiet, steady work of God who is always drawing us deeper.

Peace Not Panic (Rewind)

We are afraid that our place, our lives are messy—that it can be too much for anyone even for God to handle. But God is NOT panicking, he’s completely in control. He’s not afraid or scandalized of how messy our lives are…
