As we journey together through the solemn days of Lent, the Alliance for Catholic Education and ThinkND invite you to join us as we walk toward the light that our faith tells us lies ahead.

Join us for Grace Period, a weekly series of audio reflections by Fr. Lou DelFra, C.S.C. ’92, M. Div. ’03, designed to meet your busy schedule and help you pause, listen for God’s voice in your life, and begin anew.

What is the faint stirring in Noah’s heart which gets him out of bed and calls him to action — even when that action seems a bit absurd?

That stirring is hope.

Hope is a gift, a divine gift offered by God right into our hearts that then seeps from our hearts into our limbs.

Our prayer this week is to be evermore open to this gift, which our homes and communities so need —God’s gift of hope.

Thanks for listening! The ThinkND Podcast is brought to you by ThinkND, the University of Notre Dame's online learning community.
