Jubilee and the Good Samaritan – Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 12)
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. What draws us away from our peace and identity in God—toward places that leave us wounded and empty? We all carry brokenness, whether it’s the orphan mindset, performance pressure, or endless distractions. But Jesus meets us there, not with judgment, but healing. He carries us home, restoring what’s been lost. This episode talks about the Good Samaritan and how it relates to the heart of the Jubilee.

Freedom Greater Than Circumstances
What makes us most free is this submission to God and this dependence on Him. Yes, freedom is dependent on obedience rather than doing whatever I want. When we fall in love with God and experience that love, this profound interior freedom takes place, and it becomes the most important thing in our lives — even to the point that it…

Hot Takes 7
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…

Older Son (Literal Sense)
Have you ever felt frustrated, overlooked, or distant, even though you find yourself doing the “right” things?
In this episode, the friars dive into the older son in the Prodigal Son story, not symbolically at first, but simply as he is. His words, his reactions, his position in the family. And what starts to emerge is something deeply human: a struggle with comparison, entitlement, and not fully receiving the Father’s love.
They unpack how easy it is to stay close in proximity but far in relationship and how the older son’s experience can quietly mirror our own spiritual lives.
Join us as we take an honest look at the older son and allow the Father to meet us right where we are.
