Week 3 of a series on A 30-Day Personal Retreat with the Litany of Trust, by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V., available here at stpaulcenter.com/trust10/
There are some sins that we just can’t seem to shake — habitual sins that keep us coming back to the confessional over and over (and over) again. But no matter how consistent this sin seems, there’s one who is more consistent: the Lord. His mercy and grace are greater than our sins and failings.
Maybe you’re discouraged. Frustrated. Worn down. That experience is real, but it’s not who you are; it’s not your identity. The truest, most real thing about your experience is his mercy. So don’t settle for your sin. Don’t believe that well, this is the way it’s going to be. No! Return to the confessional, where the grace that’s poured out is restorative to that specific wound, and begin again.

Little Like Mary (Advent 2023)
How often do you say “yes” without understanding or knowing the outcome? Sometimes, we have to see and understand the plan before we say “yes,” but that’s not our Lady’s experience. She didn’t understand, but she knew what God had proposed to him, and despite that, she said “yes.” She trusts; she surrenders in this whole experience of her life without…

Made for Freedom
What does it mean to be made for freedom? We are all called to live in freedom as sons and daughters of God. We are seen, loved, and chosen by God the Father, and there’s freedom when we experience that. In this episode, we’ll explore the mechanics of freedom and learn more about how the experience of home and trust can help us understand that a little bit deeper…

Know Thyself
How much do you know about yourself? This might be a good starting point to ask ourselves in our interior life pilgrimage. From self-protection to self-acceptance, to self-possession, and ultimately to self-gift, it’s a journey to know oneself. And the beauty of prayer with the Lord is that we’re growing in self-knowledge and self-acceptance, self-possession with Jesus. In this episode, we’ll discuss the…
