Series on “The Father” by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 1)
How are you affected by the wounds you had from your earthly Father? St. Francis, a man who bore the wounds of his earthly Father, provides a powerful testament to how these wounds can become a gateway to the heart of God. His journey led him to embrace the heart of the Father through Jesus Christ, a path we can all follow. Let us not forget that Jesus is the bridge to the fatherhood of God. He stands between the Father and our wounds, eager to bring us into the presence of the Father, to save us, and to heal us from these wounds that we carry.
This episode is an invitation to hope that we can all experience the goodness of the fatherhood of God.

Hot Takes 3
We must understand that we are going through different journeys, and God is doing something completely different in each of our lives, and we must be attentive to that. Let us not be so quick to judge—everything is not as simple as it may seem. As we continue our journeys through life, we will constantly encounter our own and other people’s struggles…

Thy Will Be Done
This is NOT a How to Discern episode. It’s much closer to the foundation. What does the “will of God” even mean? What about “surrendering my life to God”? Discernment isn’t a calculation or program or roadmap, it’s not a “do this and do that and God’s mystery in your life will be revealed…

Step One
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. In her words…
