Series on Jesus and the Jubilee by Dr. John S. Bergsma (Part 1)
What does fasting in Lent mean to you and Jesus? Fasting on food for health benefits is good; however, fasting to bring us closer to a relationship with Jesus is something else entirely. Fasting is also an opportunity to feel the hunger in our bodies so that God can come and fulfill our hunger in the most profound ways. In this episode, we’ll dive deeper into fasting and how we can say No to ourselves through simple sacrifices and say Yes to create more space for intimacy with Jesus.

Serious Prayer and Serious Joy
We are anointed with the power of the holy spirit, which is the fire we’ve been given. With this fire, all of us are called to live a deep union with God—not just to live in mediocrity with our spiritual life but to set ablaze with love for the Lord.

Dealing with Loneliness
Loneliness is a common experience that we all share.

Ordinary But Extraordinary
It is easy to fall into the temptation and believe that we can’t do it, that we can’t live a holy life. Although the ordinary life is simple, hidden, and seems kind of normal, there’s so much sanctity in our vocations that are being lived faithfully. It might not be flashy or spectacular but it’s one of the most real ways we can grow in holiness. 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.
