Loneliness can make us feel that we’re not chosen; it can give us a sense of isolation. And sometimes, it’s so easy to forget, BUT we have to remember what’s true—we have a God who loves and chooses us. This is the first part of our series on Fr. Dubay’s The Fire Within, where we dive deep into the idea, experience, and desire of being chosen—a reminder that despite the difficulties in our life experiences, we are chosen, desired, and pursued by God.

The Lord desires to be born even in the mess of our lives or hearts, and we are invited to come closer to Jesus during Christmas. This is why…

Last Words of Christ
Jesus always chose his words carefully. There was great meaning and intention behind each word, part of which we can only begin to understand by listening carefully.

They Will See God
What if seeing God isn’t about trying harder, but desiring Him more simply? For this week the friars turn to the Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God.” In this episode, they explore what purity of heart really means, not moral perfection, but a heart that looks to Jesus without distraction, without divided desires, without constantly turning back toward the world. They talk about intimacy with God, the battle against distraction, how sin clouds our vision, and how purity isn’t about hating yourself but forgetting yourself so you can finally fix your gaze on the One who loves you. Through the lens of St. Francis, the saints, and our own daily struggles, this conversation invites us to reorient our hearts toward the Father and receive again the joy that comes from seeing Him clearly. Walk with us as we learn to desire what He desires and see God in a new and life-changing way.
