Being the omnipotent God, was it necessary for God to send His only beloved Son to the world to save the world? And was it necessary for Jesus to go through His passion and death to save us?

In this episode, my reflection is based on Jn 3:16-18 using the prayer of Lectio Divina. Taking a deep dive on the magnitude of God's Love for us, I also defer to the wisdom of St Thomas Aquinas from the Suma Theologica.

This reflection made the difference for me in taking the Leap of Faith in my discernment - years later ,,, to be or not to be baptised. The reflection is based on Mk 2:1-12 using the prayer of Lectio Divina.

Welcome! In this Introduction, I address the What & the Why of the Setting Apart Podcast; Whom it is for, and the genesis of which. From Scripture, we know that to be "holy" is to be "set-apart." The question then becomes: What does Holiness really mean? And how do we get there?

Taking a deep dive into the Biblical roots of Holiness, I kick off with 3 Bible verses, 3 paras from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), then examine a couple of quotes from a couple of Saints, pick the wisdom of some church fathers along the way, and reflect on them.

This is a big topic. But one that is fundamentally important for us to get a good foundation on ... as it relates to our Dignity & Identity as Children of God.

Looking ahead to Part 2 of the introduction, I explore how we can be "Perfected in Love;" and unpack the central theme of Baptism as it relates to how we are made set-part from above.

Happy listening!
