Series on Conversion by Fr Haggerty (1/8): Introduction, Chapter 1
There’s a reason that this book is required reading for all CFR postulants. It’s intense, and we’re ready to get into it in this series. Because it’s all about Jesus. And conversion is at the heart of the daily experience of saying “yes” to Jesus.
Conversion isn’t something that happens “out there”; it’s not a personal project or a formation program. There’s nothing abstract about it. It’s a real encounter with the living person of Jesus Christ, and realizing we must turn away from ourselves and towards Christ. It can be terrifying, but we have to make a decision to allow Jesus in and change our lives. A life of fidelity starts with the spark of conversion drawing us near to Jesus, and then us choosing to stay near to him, despite any temptation to remain in other things.

He Knows Your Name
Are you able to see God’s goodness? We are invited to trust and surrender that God is good and is always with us, to be rooted in the truth that God is Father, that He knows us, that He is good, and that He loves us. This is the fourth and last episode on the Mysteries & Medicine album, which teaches us how we can call out to Him and ask for the grace to trust Him and to be reunited in our identity, but most…

Christian Contentment
In our world of wanting more and of endlessly upgrading, we have to get good at saying, “Okay, that’s enough.” There’s a game of constant consumption and if we’re not careful, it’s going to take advantage of us.
