Purgatory is not a place of punishment, but a stage of loving; a time and space where we do the work of forgiving, reconciling, letting go.

Much like our physical health, our mental health needs care and tending.  We explore a few avenues of mental health self-care and how this work promotes spiritual vitality.  

What makes for a full, fruitful, meaningful joyful life?  We explore a centuries-old Jesuit approach to making the most of one's day, a way packed with wisdom for joie de vivre!

Though we profess to be a "peaceful" people, we are not taught the ways of peace-making nor do we know its role models.  Our reflections explore a step-by-step process for resolving conflicts.

Shame is a powerful, malevolent, oppressive energy that feels like an endless downward push, leaving one without the capacity to feel God's mercy.  Liberation from shame is part of what it means to be saved, to be redeemed.  We explore how we can journey from shame to healing with the help of God’s grace.

"Victim trap" thinking seduces us into identifying with a wound and living in a cycle of rehearsing old hurts, retelling painful stories, and living in the past.  But this is not God's desire and hope for us.  We explore how the resources of our spiritual tradition can help us move toward healing and wholeness.

We explore how we can talk with teens about a some important topics around sex - values, communication, boundaries, and consent.  Above all, we can help them to understand that sexuality is part of our spirituality and is a gift from God meant to be used properly.

Our culture tends to see apologizing as weakness.  The way of Christ, alternatively, is a way of self-knowledge, accountability, healing, reconciliation, and rectification.  We explore a spirituality of apology through a practical five-step approach.

The first Jesuits were very intentional about bringing a spirit of gentleness to their schools.  In this episode we explore the characteristics of a gentle approach to life, both inside and outside the classroom.

Among the most significant spiritual tasks we face is how to make the time of our ultimate parting abundantly fruitful.  As we walk with Jesus through Holy Week, he role models how in word and deed we can make our dying a gift of peace, forgiveness, and love.
