Jesus not only loves us — He thirsts for us. Why does He say “I thirst”? What does it mean? It’s something so hard to explain in words. I thirst is something much deeper than Jesus just saying, “I love you”. Mother Teresa tells us how much love Jesus has for each of us — beyond all that we can imagine.

Franciscan Lent
After a season of Jubilee rest, the friars return with fresh hearts and a new invitation: to enter the “Franciscan Lent”, a hidden season of simplicity, detachment, and joyful expectation. Drawing from the life of St. Francis and the Beatitudes, they explore what it really means to become small, to depend completely on God, and to let Him provide what we cannot.
This episode isn’t about doing more, it’s about letting go, trusting deeply, and rediscovering the joy that comes from poverty of spirit.

The Good Samaritan (Lent 2024)
