What do you do after Easter Sunday? We are invited to be overwhelmed with paschal joy during the Easter season. Still, instead, we usually resolve our daily grind like everything isn’t transformed by our encounter with the risen Lord. So many of us return to our normal ways shortly after the resurrection—we can sometimes take comfort in that.
In today’s episode, we will discuss Easter’s importance and how we can allow the liturgy to break into our everyday lives.

Older Son (Spiritual Sense)
Have you ever been hurt by someone and struggled with what forgiveness is supposed to look like?
In this episode, the friars revisit the older son in the Prodigal Son story, but now through a deeper, spiritual lens. Not just what he did, but what he felt. The loss, the frustration, the sense of being overlooked, and the real difficulty of being invited into forgiveness before you’re ready.
They explore the complexity of the human heart, how joy and pain can exist at the same time, how past wounds resurface in present moments, and how God meets us not with pressure, but with presence. This conversation is an honest look at what it means to carry hurt, to wrestle with forgiveness, and to let the Father meet you in the middle of it.
Join us as we enter the older son’s story and discover a God who doesn’t rush healing, but walks with us through it.
