Welcome to "Continual Gift of Self." In this episode, Fr. Hock explains how Jesus went to battle for our souls against Satan. Jesus went through the 40 days in the desert at the will of the Father. We are invited there to fight for our eternity in this life. Follow along as we learn about this invitation and how God the Father desires to make all things new through His Son, Jesus.

In this episode of "Continual Gift of Self" we hear about how our hearts are called by our need and love for Jesus. This Lenten season we will recognize more deeply how answering this call can help us grow closer to Christ. Through the crosses on our foreheads we are claimed for God, and our hearts long for him, because that is who we are.

Fr. John Rooney goes into how to pray through readings and meditate on what those readings mean to you. Follow along as Fr. Rooney breaks down the Gospel of Mark where Jesus heals Simon's mother in law. Dive-in to what a day beside Jesus might have looked like, what conversations you would have had, and how you might have celebrated the Sabbath day with Him: just spending time with the Lord. Take time to reflect on what has Jesus done in your life that makes you want to spend more time with Him.

Before we enter into the season of Lent, listen in to hear how Jesus can heal through the Lenten season. Sin breaks the relationships we have with one another, and we are not able to connect with others while in sin. Reflect on how Jesus desires to work in your life, He is willing you to be clean, allow Him to enter in and heal.
