Episode 244 - Merry Christmas

What does Christmas offer to the reality of our lives?

The reality of holidays and people's lives is not always as happy or merry as we've hoped. But amidst all that, the invitation is to be with Jesus and go through whatever the reality of Christmas is with Him.

The Lord desires to be born even in the mess of our lives or our hearts and during Christmas, we are invited to come closer to Jesus. This is why Christmas can be a good source of grace and connection-it's a reason for hope in the darkness.

In this episode, we dive a little bit deeper into the reality of Christmas.

Episode 243 - Hot Takes 7

We have to understand that we are going through different journeys. God is doing something completely different in each of our lives and we have to be attentive to that. Let us not be so quick to judge—everything is not as simple as it may seem. As we continue our journeys through life, we will constantly encounter our own and other people's struggles, flaws, weaknesses, and even sins. 

In our Catholic life, there will be a lot of questions that will come our way and in this episode, we'll try to answer a few of them.

Here is another one of our Hot Takes episodes that talks about some essential topics that most of us can relate to. In this episode we'll be going through the following topics: 

1️⃣ An Individual Who Lives In a Society 2️⃣ Can Men and Women Be Friends? 3️⃣ Jesus' 5 Favorite Things

Episode 242 - Marian Consecration, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 7)

What does it mean to be consecrated to Our Lady and what do we do after that?

We've been on this journey of restoration in preparation for this consecration, so what should we expect during this consecration and the days after that?

What happens next doesn't have to be super unreachable, but in the simpleness of our lives, it's having Our Lady be part of our days whether it's good or bad. It's learning to reference her more, make room for her in our hearts, and welcome her into our lives.

In today's episode, we're gonna dive deeper into what Marian consecration looks like.

Episode 241 - Mary As Mother, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 6)

What does your relationship with Mary look like?

As we draw closer to the consecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we believe it's a good time to reflect and look at our relationship, journey, and encounter with Mary. We are invited to dive deeper into our relationship with her, our personal love for her, and some moments of grace along the way.

Today, we'll go in a slightly different and more personal direction and talk about how we encountered and grew in our personal relationship with Mary. We'll dive deeper into how Mary is with us and wants to be a mother to all of us.

Episode 240 - Restoring Our Mission, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 5)

What's the mission that Jesus is calling you to do? 

We all have a mission that we are picked to do and that mission should be something that we share with Jesus. We are invited to love like Jesus and ultimately, love like The Father-we are invited to live in greatness and give our lives to something that matters. 

In this episode, we look into what it means to be restored as sons and daughters who are given a mission in life towards fulfillment and fullness and how we can remain faithful to that mission.

Episode 239 - Restoring Our Actions and Attitudes, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 4)

How do we act? What are our attitudes toward our relationships, our lives, and our vocations?

The invitation to restoration this week is to start to live like Jesus, and we present the Beatitudes as a way to make this happen in our lives. Beatitudes are the actions and attitudes of Jesus. It's a reflection of His own heart—a reflection of living in relationship with Him and being ultimately transformed into Him. 

The hope for this week's episode is that we could receive a new grace in our lives where we can look at the beatitudes in a new way as an invitation to restoration and conversion in being sons and daughters of God.

Episode 238 - True Masculinity and Femininity, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 3)

What does it mean to be sons and daughters who are living true masculinity and femininity?

In a world that has kind of a broken understanding of masculinity and femininity, it seems that our identities as sons and daughters of God—the idea of masculinity and femininity, have been hijacked and somehow misunderstood. This is why it's just so important to understand our hearts and reorient ourselves to what we are supposed to be doing as a man or a woman.

This episode was originally meant for men and masculinity but some of the topics also apply to women and femininity. With that said, today we are going through the different facets of what it means to have a redeemed masculinity or femininity and how that aids in the restoration of our sonship or daughtership.

Episode 237 - Restoring Communion, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 2)

What does it mean to be restored, sons and daughters? How do we begin?

Jesus was always in prayer, and we are invited to do the same. This is why restoration should begin with the gift of prayer and communion with God. We would also need to create a space for restoration and have the sensitivity and receptivity to be in a deeper communion with God.

In this episode, we continue our 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe and try to learn how we can listen to God more deeply and restore our realities as sons and daughters of God.

Episode 236 - Rebuild to Reconsecrate, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 1)

What does restoration or reconsecration look like, why do we need it?

Restoration and reconsecration mean finding our lives once again in Christ and putting Jesus right at the center of our lives. It means to desire to grow, go deeper, and learn again that God is our Father and that Jesus can lead us to a deeper way of being sons and daughters.

If you're currently facing the reality of your brokenness, waywardness, or exile, wherever you find yourself right now—that's okay. The gift of our baptism can be restored and renewed through Jesus and Our Lady is gonna help us to do that. Just as Our Lady of Guadalupe restored Juan Diego’s hope, she can help you restore your sonship or daughtershhip in God the Father.

In this episode, we're gonna look into how we can rebuild and reconsecrate the chapel of our hearts as we start a 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

What is spiritual direction really about and how do we do it? 

Nowadays it seems that there is an increasing trend of people who are seeking spiritual direction however there aren't a lot of spiritual directors to help us with that. 

In today's episode, we're gonna try and explain what is spiritual direction, who needs it, and what would be the best way to do it, to try and bridge that gap.
