How do we act? What are our attitudes toward our relationships, lives, and vocations? This week, the invitation to restoration is to start living like Jesus, and we present the Beatitudes as a way to make this happen in our lives. The Beatitudes are Jesus’ actions and attitudes. They reflect His heart—a reflection of living in a relationship with Him and ultimately being transformed into Him.
The hope for this week’s episode is that we will receive a new grace in our lives and be able to look at the Beatitudes in a new way as an invitation to restoration and conversion as sons and daughters of God.

Jubilee Year
Where is your focus set on this new year, 2025? This year, we begin a jubilee year in the church. It is a consecrated time, a special year to stop and take a step back—it’s a year of rest to reset while inviting the Lord into it. It is also a year to make a breakthrough or a significant shift in our lives with an invitation to a greater intensity of prayer and hope. In this episode, we’ll discuss the principles of the…

Jesus, Meekness, and Fighting Satan
What if meekness isn’t weakness but the strongest way Jesus fights? In this episode, the friars turn to “Blessed are the meek” and uncover how meekness is not passivity or timidity, but the fruit of deep confidence and identity as sons of the Father. They explore how Jesus enters the ultimate battle, not with force or armor, but with humility, vulnerability, and unwavering trust in who He is. This is how He confronts temptation, resists Satan, and claims victory. They reflect on how our own battles are often fought in the same place: our identity. When we’re rooted in the Father’s love, insecurity loses its power, and we’re free to stand firm without grasping, proving, or defending ourselves. Join us as we learn how meekness becomes strength, identity becomes armor, and Christ’s victory becomes our own.

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.
