We have some pretty strong feelings on this topic, and it shows in this week’s episode.
Passing through purgatory is the experience that prepares us for heaven. There’s no greater insight into what purgatory is like than family life or community life. The most important thing you’ll bring to your vocation — whether that’s religious life or family life — is your capacity to be a man or woman of communion. This applies directly to mission, too. We can be obsessed with mission at the cost of communion, and that’s when your mission will dry up because it’s no longer connected to the vine.
So what does it mean to be a man or woman of communion? What does a life like that look like? We get into all of it in this conversation.

Ordinary But Extraordinary
It is easy to fall into the temptation and believe that we can’t do it, that we can’t live a holy life. Although the ordinary life is simple, hidden, and seems kind of normal, there’s so much sanctity in our vocations that are being lived faithfully. It might not be flashy or spectacular but it’s one of the most real ways we can grow in holiness. We may not be in the chapel or church making a eucharistic holy hour, but no matter what our day-to-day experiences look like or what daily lives we are accustomed to, God is there.
