Series on Fire Within by Fr. Thomas Dubay, S.M. (Part 5 of 8)
In reality, suffering’s out there in many ways, and in most ways, it’s unavoidable. So, “Okay, what do we do with it?”. We’ll unpack this question in today’s episode. We are invited to unite our suffering with Jesus and offer it to Him. As we suffer generously and give that to the Lord, one of the fruits of it is that it creates the space and cultivates the soul for profound union with God Himself. In this fifth episode of our Fire Within series, we’ll discuss suffering, prayer, and growth in the spiritual life and discuss the close correlation between suffering and growth in prayer.

C’est La Confiance
Are you worried for 2024? Worry is a lack of confidence, and we can be worried about much stuff. The invitation from St. Therese and our Lord is to have confidence in Him. We who run in the way of love shouldn’t be thinking of suffering that can take place in the future. That’s a lack of confidence. The complete trust that becomes an abandonment in love sets us free from obsessive calculations…

Jubilee and the Good Samaritan
Why do we leave what’s good and search for answers in places that break us? This week, the friars unpack the story of the Good Samaritan through the lens of the Jubilee year. What draws us away from our peace and identity in God—toward places that leave us wounded and empty?

Trust Comes From Relationship (Rewind)

It’s not your own project. You don’t work on it directly, because it’s the fruit of relationship with the Lord. If you want to develop more…
