Fr. Joseph points us to St. Anthony’s life to show us the true meaning of fighting relentlessly throughout our spiritual life, and shows us that even in the midst of great suffering, St. Anthony persevered in his work of prayer and service. Like this great saint, our work must be with purpose and moderation, that we may glorify our God at all times.

Fr. Joseph talks about what it means to live our life without envy. We can resist the temptation to envy others by having a humble heart that seeks to glorify God and to be content in all things. Using the model of St. John the Baptist, we can learn to have our eyes fixed on Christ and to have fulfillment in Him alone. Tune in to hear more.

Fr. Joseph explains that our perspective plays a big role in our narrative for our life. It’s important that we focus on letting the light shine through our lens so that our narrative is one full of hope in God’s work and presence in our lives.

Fr. Joseph meditates on the theme of Kiahk in anticipation to the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, which reconciles us with the Father and gives us access to a deeper relationship of love, communion, and prayer with Him. Though we were distant from The Fall, God brought us near when He became flesh. Emmanuel, “God with us,” made it possible to have an intimate relationship with Him. This relationship is the meaning of salvation, which materializes through a life of prayer. Part 4 of this 4 part series delves into the aspect of praise and glorification, which is both the summit of our prayer life and the pervading theme of this joyful season.

Fr. Joseph explains that when we rely on our own abilities in place of depending on God, we lose the opportunity to surrender to His will in full obedience. By unconditionally obeying God’s commandments in the way we live our lives, we are actively relying on Him to steer our lives in the direction of His will. This complete obedience is the journey we must all strive to walk in order to order to reach the perfect standard that He set for us and to gain our heavenly inheritance. Tune in to hear more.
