Series on “Mary and the Interior Life” by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 1)
How important is Mary, Our Lady, in your spiritual life? Our Lady is a real woman and mother to all of us, and Mary’s intercession is more real than we realize. The gift of Our Lady is that she looks upon us and knows our hearts and her gaze can be the first safe and secure place in a world filled with insecurity. At this same moment, Mary wants us to look upon her, and in this exchange, we find safety and security in our lives through a contemplative experience with her.
In this episode, as we start our mini-series on Fr. Jeremiah’s book, we will talk about Mary—a real mom, an invitation to gain a different understanding of Mary and learn about the importance of viewing the world through her eyes.

Your Stuff is Holding You Back
Ever try to connect with the person right in front of you, but he or she is staring at a phone, totally preoccupied? You want to jump in and say, “Look up! Look at me!” How often are we those preoccupied people in prayer? We have to be real about attachment; whether we like it or not, our humanity is into stuff. In our weakness, we can get…

Suffering and Prayer
In reality, suffering’s out there in many ways, and in most ways, it’s unavoidable. So, “Okay, what do we do with it?”. We’ll unpack this question in today’s episode. We are invited to unite our suffering with Jesus and offer it to Him. As we suffer generously and give that to the Lord, one of the fruits of it is that it creates the space and cultivates…
