Fiat in the Mess

In today's episode we change gears a little and talk about some of the humorous absurdities of motherhood. Whether your hope is constantly dashed over not getting to go to the bathroom alone, or your children can't find their shoes on the way out the door to Sunday mass, these universal truths certainly bring humor to our days. Join us as we laugh 'till we cry about interrupted phone calls, lost scissors and more. We know we are not alone!

As we head into Holy Week we want to spend some time reflecting on the Triduum and ways to observe these holy days as a family, particularly in light of the vocation of motherhood. We know the season of motherhood you are in makes all the difference in how you observe these days. We also want to remind you that as you embrace the self-gift of motherhood, you are placed in a unique position to enter into Christ's suffering and total abandonment of his will to the Father.

Divine Intimacy, Fr Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen 

"He exhausts the resources of His love, and offers Himself to man, not only as Redeemer, who will die for him on the Cross, but also as the food which will nourish him. He will feed man with his own Flesh and Blood; moreover death might claim Him in a few hours, but the Eucharist will perpetuate His real, living presence until the end of time." (Divine Intimacy, 392)  

"Good Friday," continues Fr. Gabriel, "is the day more than any other that invites us to enter into the thicket of the trials and pains of the Son of God and not only with the abstract consideration of the mind, but also with the practical disposition of the will to accept suffering voluntarily, in order to unite and assimilate ourselves to the Crucified." (Divine Intimacy, 395) 

"Seeing with the eyes of Christ, I can give to others much more than their outward necessities; I can give them the look of love which they crave."  Pope Benedict XVI, God Is Love: Deus Caritas Est

In today's episode we check-in with where we are spiritually and what the Lord is doing in us (so far) this Lenten season. We recognize that this vocation can feel like a barrier to spiritual flourishing, particularly if we are longing for quiet contemplation. We will examine the ways the Lord is calling us to greater holiness and surrender through all the seasons of motherhood and discuss ways we can surrender anew midway through Lent and beyond.

Today's episode is titled "You are the Potter; I am the Clay" and we will be talking about the beautiful analogy of the Potter and the Clay in scripture, and dig into that imagery a little as it relates to motherhood and the work God is doing in our lives and in our domestic churches. 

Scriptures: Isaiah 64:8; Philippians 1:6 

St Irenaeus Quotes

 "You do not make God; God makes you. If you are God's artifact, then wait for the hand of the Master which makes everything at the proper time, at the time proper for you who are being created…

"Offer him a soft and malleable heart; then keep the shape in which the Master molds you. Retain your moisture, so that you do not harden and lose the imprint of his fingers. By preserving your structure you will rise to perfection. God's artistry will conceal what clay is in you. His hand fashioned a foundation in you; he will cover you inside and out with pure gold and silver. He will so adorn you that the King himself will desire your beauty."

The season of Lent begins tomorrow and on today's show we will discuss ways to embrace simplicity—to be truly open to what the Lord is calling us to and to let go of what we think it should look like in this season. We will also examine the nature of this vocation as essentially Lenten and ways to enter into that reality in a new way during this season.

Today we will discuss the frequent disparities between what we think about how we are doing as a mom and what is true. We know we are often our own worst critics, so we believe it is worth taking some time to remind you what an amazing job you are doing in this vocation.

In today's podcast we will discuss the concept of Ego-drama vs.Theo-drama as explained by Fr. Hans Urs von Balthasar and how that distinction can inspire the proper perspective to the highs and lows of motherhood, including the mundane details of our lives. We will consider that it is in the seemingly small moments that God reveals the most about himself.

Today we talk about the promises of God in light of suffering and hardship and where we find our hope and peace, especially as we surrender to God's will in our motherhood. Whether we are struggling with the day to day tasks of constant giving, grappling with heartache and loss, or just feeling plain overwhelmed, we know we serve a God who delights over us with singing. Come find refuge in Him, with us.

In today's episode, we will begin by examining the mightiness of God and the essential need to see yourselves through His eyes. We will examine our great need for God's mightiness in every season of motherhood, particularly when we feel unseen and unappreciated and how to look at these hardships through the lens of God's greatness.

On today's episode, we will discuss pregnancy in a special way, through the lens of our sanctification and the profound call of mercy it is in our spiritual lives. We will look at several scriptures and consider the best perspective, particularly in times of weakness. We know God is doing a holy and sanctifying work as he uses our bodies to build the kingdom of heaven.
