The only place anyone can get anything done is in the present. It resides in between learning from the past and visioning the future.

Often, we do not call on Jesus when we should. We live our lives too fast and forget to call on His help all day. He is happy when we do that! 

This week on Off the Shelf Christine Wohar, founder of FrassatiUSA, shares some insight with us on her favorite soon to be saint (hopefully) Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Join us as we discuss why this virtuous man who died way too young at 24 is a stellar example of how we should live. Check out Christine's new book Finding Frassati and Following His Path to Holiness here.

Questions Covered:

• 00:50 - Is it accurate to say that God can create time and other things that change because of his permissive will? 

Questions Covered:

• 04:48 - Where’s the best place for a lay person to get an online theology course? 

If daily uninterrupted prayer is the ideal, what does that imply about the rest of our daily activities—are they less meaningful? With this practice established by monks of old, even the busy person can elevate their daily work and stay connected to God without missing a beat. Richaél Lucero outlines how you can too.

About our drink:

Corner Creek 10 Year

Corner Creek has quietly been around as a “modern” brand since the late 1980’s. During this time the brand has passed hands among various organizations, including Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (aka Willett), and currently being owned by Corner Creek Distillery Co. located in Crestwood, Kentucky. One thing has been consistent throughout the brand’s life, it has never been disclosed where the bourbon is sourced from. For the majority of the brand’s life, it has only sold as a no age statement (NAS) bourbon. This changed with the introduction of the non-chill filtered Corner Creek 10 Year.
