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.

In this sixth episode of our Fire Within…

Dryness in Prayer
Probably the most important relationship in our life is our relationship with God, and we are building that through prayer. Prayer is real — it’s for everyone, but we know that prayer is not always easy. Sometimes it can even be really hard. Growing in relationship…

Perseverance Not Pretty
Do you think God calls us to be perfect or just to be pretty? I think not. What we’re called to is not pretty or perfection but perseverance. Sometimes, having a very happy-looking social media feed is much easier than having a happy heart and home in reality. But we’re not going for things to look good; instead, we’ll be good and persevere in this goodness…
