  • Episode 123: The Gift of Life

    3 April 2023 | Monday of Holy Week | Menlo Park, Calif.

    At the outset of this holiest of weeks, we contemplate life as a precious, unmerited gift of God, given freely out of love to be used for His glory. We then continue our reading of the Interior Castle with a discussion of extraordinary phenomena in the sixth dwelling places: locutions, visions, and raptures (oh my!) 

    Friends, I hope you have a most blessed Holy Week and a joyful celebration of Easter!

    Opening music: “Hosanna filio David,” introit for Palm Sunday, sung by Chœur grégorien de Paris, 2013. All rights reserved.

  • Episode 122: Ever Onward

    27 March 2023 | Monday of the First Week in Passiontide | Menlo Park, Calif.

    This week, I share what I learned recently from Dr. Suzanne Baars about affirmation therapy and one simple way we can help people experience the love of God. Then we continue our journey “ever onward” into the sixth dwelling places with St. Teresa and consider the place of trials in the spiritual life.
