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.

Christian Contentment
In our world of wanting more and of endlessly upgrading, we have to get good at saying, “Okay, that’s enough.” There’s a game of constant consumption and if we’re not careful, it’s going to take advantage of us. Don’t get played! Simplicity isn’t about getting rid of everything. It’s saying “no” to things you need to say “no” to…

Freed by the Cross
How can the wounds of Jesus on the cross set us free? Could the cross be more than a symbol—an exorcism, a place of absolute freedom and healing? His open heart invites us to lay down our disordered loves and be delivered from the false attachments that enslave us. Could the cross be where we find freedom, not just from sin, but from the Egypt still within us? This is the freedom Jesus…
