Series on “Mary and the Interior Life” by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 2)
Is your prayer and your life two separate realities? Mary gives us a ton of hope that the grace of God and the Holy Spirit meet us in reality. At its core, the Marian posture is about the reality of God’s fullness. Mary teaches us that the best place to live your spiritual life is in reality—where you are right now. It’s about living one reality in the presence of God.
This episode invites us to have confidence in the daily bread and the grace given to us here and now. Let’s not fantasize about the change but try to respond as best as possible to what’s currently there. Let’s engage every part of our reality with the Lord while having a deep sense of his love and attentiveness as we respond in those moments.

You Are Not an Outsider
We’re all really interested in what God can do for us; the healing, the restoration, the gifts of the Father. Are we as interested in committing to the long-term relationship that allows us to receive all of that? It’s all too easy to spend the inheritance while overlooking the relationship. As sons and daughters of God, we’re meant to live from the inside of Jesus’ heart.
