The Healing Road Podcast

In the final episode of our season Seeing with the Eyes of Eternity, we discuss Pope Francis' address during his Friday, March 27, 2020 Urbi et Orbi Blessing (to the city and the world). In particular, we consider Pope Francis' reflections on how the current pandemic is waking us up to the fact that we are all in the same boat, all brothers and sisters, the value of "often forgotten people," and the "false and superfluous certainties" of our lives that have now been unmasked. We also tease our next season which begins in just one week.

In this episode we discuss how we all have blinds spots and are limited in our ability to "see the whole picture." Humility and childlikeness allow us to learn from others and see what we cannot see on our own, and ultimately opens us up to receive Jesus' perspective. We also talk about a great story called Flatland and a humbling experiment called The Marshmallow Challenge.
