Fourth Week of Advent
The Lord doesn’t need a perfect moment to do what he does. He can use—and has used — all the secular events and moments in history to bring about his plan. The detours and decisions and even things that feel like inconveniences — he’ll work with it all. And it’s not that he’s just done this once or twice… it seems to be his method. God works through the stuff. It’s all very incarnational. Never doubt that any situation is beyond God’s reach.

Is your prayer and your life two separate realities? Mary gives us a ton of hope that the grace of God and the Holy Spirit meet us in reality. At its core, the Marian posture is about the reality of God’s fullness. Mary teaches us that the best place to live your spiritual life is in reality—where you are right now. It’s about living one reality in the presence of God. This episode invites us to have confidence in the daily bread…

Little But Infinite
Sometimes, we may feel that we are only able do the little things — that what we do is insignificant. Things may seem so small, but in reality no matter how little or insignificant something may seem, nothing is little.

The Father’s Embrace (Lent 2026)
What do you expect to find when you finally turn back toward God?
Continuing their Lenten journey through the Prodigal Son, the friars arrive at the turning point of the story, the moment the son returns home. Expecting rejection, punishment, or distance, he instead finds something completely unexpected: the Father running toward him with compassion.
In this episode, the friars reflect on the heart of the Gospel. The Father doesn’t wait for perfection, explanations, or repayment. He runs, he embraces, and he restores dignity before a single word of apology is finished.
Join us as we rediscover the mercy of a Father who never stops watching the road and who runs to meet us the moment we begin to come home.
