A tip to enter into fasting in a way that will bring your heart a little closer to Jesus.

You can give gifts to those around you everyday to bring you closer to Jesus and to bring others closer to Jesus.

One way to pray with Jesus' words.

Jesus desires to be close to us - He chooses us. Let us listen to His words and watch his actions so our hearts will choose Him, too. Here we will listen to the Beatitudes.

We are made for communion, or unity. We are also made for Communion, receiving the Eucharist. This episode is a look at how Communion is really the reality of how to live our lives. In the Mass, we see how live our communion with nature and others so as to experience the deep for which we long.

Saints that longed to receive Jesus in the sacraments or felt long periods of burning love after receiving the Eucharist are inspiring...or maybe discouraging. This episode offers a few reflections and suggestions on exterior and interior blocks to respond to the reality that sometime our emotions and feelings do not match the immense grace of the Sacraments. 

Each sacrament uniquely reveals the reality of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection and truly makes it present. This sacrament brings us to an encounter with truth. The truth of sin and the truth of a loving Savior. What joy! 

This podcast focuses on the fourth point of the Kerygma - which is really a question - who will you choose? For those who say, "Lord, I choose You," it can be a struggle to then actually live it out in daily life. The truths, examples, and suggestions in this episode are offered to be an aid and encouragement to let the Lord train your heart to rely on Him as He works to enable your heart to receive love and give love.

This episode focuses on the third point of the Kerygma, Jesus is my Savior, the only way back to God. Another way to say this is that Jesus desires a relationship with you and to give you the fullness of life. Learn to be aware, understand, and take action as you go through your day as a way of responding to Jesus invitation and living in the abundant life of your Savior.
