Welcome, to the Pilgrim's Heart Podcast! This is the first episode, the Introductory episode.

I am Monique Romany, the co-host of this podcast and I am joined by two good friends; Thea and Stefanie, in this first episode.

We talk about the conception/birth of this podcast, hopes for the podcast, and a little nugget of what listeners should expect in this podcast.

The following excerpt guides our conversation: "The purpose of our life is to arrive at our final destiny-our home in heaven! God created us out of pure love so that we might know Him, love Him and serve Him in this life and be happy with Him forever in heaven. This is a simple but profound catechetical truth. To arrive at our final destination, heaven, we should carefully plan our route. If we do not, we will drive around like a chicken with its head cut off, as we have all experienced upon getting lost. Many people in the modern world have not the slightest idea where they came from, what their goal in life is, or how to reach that goal. They follow the most current fad, or their feelings, or the advice and suggestions of friends who are even more confused than they are. In the end, sadness and depression invade and permeate their whole being." - Fr. Ed Broom (Total Consecration Through the Mysteries of the Rosary: Meditations to prepare for Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary)

We express that while living intentionally is a sacrifice, it is worth it. It is important to live intentionally and when we do so, we find power and joy in our journey. This is what it means to have a pilgrim's heart- being intentional.

Takeaways:

  • Thea: "Intentional reliance on God."
  • Stefanie: "Intentionality means making a choice. Take the time to figure out what kind of life you want and make the choice."
  • Monique: "Intentionality is a sacrifice and that can be frustrating at times but practice it in the little things and eventually it will envelope your whole life and your relationship with God."
