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.

On Being Safe
What does it mean to be safe? Safety is not the absence of suffering; it’s not like we’re not going to struggle with anything, but it’s the recognition that when we are vulnerable, we don’t have to escape it because someone wants to be with us and provide for us and that is our Lord, Jesus Christ. This is the safety that we are proposing. In this episode, we focus on having sufficient resources and…

The Prodigal Son (Lent 2024)
Would you receive the Father’s unconditional love if you were the prodigal son? The Father wants us to convert from a conditional, perfectionistic way of experiencing God to a place of just being unconditionally loved by Him. But we can sometimes hold onto shame for security. What is asked of us is to leave behind that shame—let the shame and self-contempt crumble. We don’t need to “pay rent” to be loved by the heavenly Father…
