Series on “Mysteries & Medicine” by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 1)
Would you agree that life is a journey or a pilgrimage? The journey to say yes to what God wants for our life is not just this thing that happens like a contract; we say, “Yes,” it’s a journey. The holiness, the sanctification, the healing, it takes time. The pilgrimage of life is challenging; blindness, poverty, and suffering are often a part of it, but Jesus is with us in this pilgrimage, and he desires to not just walk along with us but to be the way that we walk to the Father’s heart.
This episode is the first part of our series on Fr. Isaiah’s Mysteries & Medicine, which talks about life as a pilgrimage, the experience of mystery, and the response of Jesus to this experience.

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.

The Option’s Not Optional
“How is Jesus calling you to serve the poor?” This is the question we’ll attempt to answer in this episode. Jesus loved the poor; like Him, we are called to be a lifeline for needy people.
