Episode #69: Terry Modica shares the prophetic messages she learned last December attending an Advent retreat in light of what we’re going through today in the worldwide shut-down caused by the coronavirus. The retreat was like a military briefing in regards to what God is doing about the vast and pervasive evil in our world. We have entered into a period of chastisement. But do not be afraid. It’s good news for those of us who follow Christ whole-heartedly. Here’s how to discern what God is doing and focus on the blessings that are already beginning to come out of the very bad times we’re enduring.

Money can destroy a marriage.

All the assumptions and experiences of the way your family used and managed money come into your marriage. Each spouse was raised in a different environment, so no two people come into a marriage thinking exactly the same way as their spouse on any issue, most especially money. And that difference can mean disaster.

Learn how to tackle those important money decisions as a team in this podcast and the Compass Catholic blog

Hard times, we are all going to have them. And, some of us get through them better than others. Others don’t do so well. They suffer openly, have a negative destructive attitude and feel that their happiness has been shortchanged. In this podcast, Tony discusses hard times.

Scripture: “Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” –Philippians 4:7

Quote: “Suffering has to come because if you look at the cross Jesus has his head bending down. He wants to kiss you. And he has his arms opened wide. He wants to embrace you. When you feel miserable inside look at the cross. Suffering, pain, sorrow, humiliation, feelings of loneliness, are nothing but the kiss of Jesus, a sign you have come so close he can kiss you.Suffering, pain, humiliation – this is the kiss of Jesus!” – Blessed Theresa of Calcutta

“Life is not the way it’s supposed to be, it’s the way it is. The way you cope is what makes the difference.” –- Virginia Satir

“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflections: How has God helped you through hard times?  What is you feeling about suffering?  Is there anything we can learn from experiencing hard times?

I hear about people struggling with their imagination all the time. Usually it is about the imagination impeding during a time being offered up in prayer. So, I speak about how we are to respond to this issue. I use the wisdom of my big sis St. Teresa of Avila. I hope this helps you all. Prayers from Carmel during this Corona Virus outbreak.
