There’s this simplicity that when we encounter Jesus, our lives become different. We may not understand it, and it might not look the same for each of us, but our lives become different. Just like the story of the man born blind, before he met Jesus and hoped in Him, he was living in darkness, unable to see. After his encounter, there had been healing, and he could finally see. Things changed.
We know that there’s an absolute vulnerability and struggle with physical blindness. It is similar to our vulnerability and struggles with the desires we can’t give ourselves. That is why we need to receive this gift of acceptance and surrender to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
This episode is the fourth part of our Lenten series on Fr. Mark Toups’s Lenten Companion, a beginning of a journey of surrender. An invitation to make space for the Lord, ask Jesus for help with the crosses we carry, and to trust and hope not for outcomes but in Him.

The Option’s Not Optional
“How is Jesus calling you to serve the poor?” This is the question we’ll attempt to answer in this episode. Jesus loved the poor; like Him, we are called to be a lifeline for needy people. God sees the poor, but we are called to intercede on their behalf—to be somebody who can bring them to Him. This episode talks about the importance, necessity…

We Speak Praise
We allow our hearts to agree with the truth of who God is — that’s what adoration means. And as we become more familiar with the truth who God is through adoration, we start to see more clearly who God is to us and what is given to us by Him. Everything that we have…
