In today’s episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Calin meditates on the shorter form of the Beatitudes. It is the process of emptying ourselves of our selves – of being so poor that we are spiritually bankrupt. That is just the beginning of our journey. One that forces us to starve, hunger, morn and weep and rely upon the righteousness of the Lord. All these spiritual experiences’ sole purpose is witnessing to Christ and therefore, to allow His message of love to be made visible through us.

In today’s episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Calin reflects on the scribes who are challenging Jesus’ authority, by asking him riddles of their minds. Jesus deflects that challenge and wants to expose the riddle of their heart instead. What is in their hearts – the power of God, the faith in our creator, the light of the Holy Spirit, or is it just darkness and desires that have to do with this world? What is in our own hearts?

In today's episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Calin brings up the topic of faith.

In today’s episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Ovidiu Marginean invites us to think upon our calling to bear fruit. In this sense we see the contrast in Jesus’ attitude towards the fruitless fig tree or the prayerless people in the temple. On our trip to become divine prayer and fruit bearing are essential.

In today’s episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Ovidiu Marginean invites us to consider the fact that God is with us and in due time grants our deep desires. “Ask and it shall be given to you” is portrayed by the blind man receiving his sight. What do we do after we receive healing and blessings in our own lives? Or do we recognize God’s manifestation at all in our moment by moment living?

In today’s episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Ovidiu Marginean invites us to think that just as the grain of mustard seed becomes a tall-standing tree through proper and regular care, the same way the smallest things we do (acts of love, care and kindness) can bring great spiritual fruits if done regularly.

In today’s episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Ovidiu Marginean invites us to think at Judas’ story and the way in which Satan uses him as a tool to overcome God’s plan. Nevertheless, God’s plan and will is fulfilled through Jesus. In what ways can we relate this story in our lives? In what way is God’s plan better than our plans?
