Love Begins Here came to a really beautiful end in Plain, and while we were there we recorded our last BOOK CLUB episode with Core Team members Catherine (Freshly Brewed draft winner) and Br. Dominick Jean, OP. We talked through the last section of Secret Fire on TRANSFORMATION. It was a beautiful discussion about the transformation St. Mother Teresa experienced in her life through encountering the love and thirst of Jesus.

Happy July, y'all! We're so happy to be back with another BOOK CLUB episode reading Secret First by Fr. Joseph Langford together. We're into ILLUMINATION and chatting about ways in which the THIRST of God had transformed St. Mother Teresa's life and thus inspires ours!

Hooray! It's BOOK CLUB SEASON, and we're really excited to kick off our reading of Secret Fire by Fr. Joseph Langford. Tune in to hear what the "light and love" was that inspired St. Mother Teresa to found the missionaries of charity. Spoiler alert: September 10, 1946 was THE DAY. Meghan and Lindsay are lucky to be joined by Brianna, LBH 2022 Core Team member and former Camp Gray staffer!

Meghan and Lindsay assess how successful this season of the podcast was and share about the very last paragraph in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (2865). Learn about how the Catechism helps us navigate life and find answers to important questions about faith and life. BONUS: stay tuned through the end, as you'll hear our pick for the summer book study!

Nearing the end of the Freshly Brewed season and catechism study, we're devoting a whole episode to Mary, our heavenly mom!

Specifically, Meghan and Lindsay talk about the "obedience of faith" and Mary's perfect response to God while we talk over paragraph 148.

CCC 148: The Virgin Mary most perfectly embodies the obedience of faith. By faith Mary welcomes the tidings and promise brought by the angel Gabriel, believing that "with God nothing will be impossible" and so giving her assent: "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word." Elizabeth greeted her: "Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." It is for this faith that all generations have called Mary blessed.

We're closing in on our Catechism fundamentals this year, and this is the last of the episodes on prayer. Meghan and Lindsay chat about our favorite saints to ask the intercession of and their role as our friends in heaven!
