Have you ever felt frustrated when Jesus seems quiet while everything around you is falling apart?
In this episode, the friars continue reflecting on “Blessed are the meek,” turning to two striking images: Jesus asleep in the manger and Jesus asleep in the boat during the storm. Both reveal a confidence rooted not in control, but in trust. Trust in the Father, trust in victory, even when chaos is loud, and fear feels close. They talk honestly about the frustration we feel when Jesus seems distant or inactive while we’re struggling. And they invite us to see that His silence isn’t absence, it’s the patience of love at work.
Join us as we learn to trust Jesus in the storm and discover the peace that comes from knowing He is already with us.

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.

Trust Comes From Relationship (Rewind)
This episode kicks off a four-part series on a new retreat based on the Litany of Trust from the Sisters of Life. There are some virtues we can work on and grow in — but trust isn’t like that. It’s not your own project. You don’t work on it directly, because it’s the fruit of relationship with the Lord. If you want to develop more…

Learning to Love Like Jesus
The fullness of the mission of Christ includes a heart for the poor. This is pretty central, actually, but somehow doesn’t always get a lot of airtime. This isn’t just something we do, but who we are. It’s not just a Christian thing — this is being like Jesus. And even once that heart is developed and the desire is there, the how can…
