    ---

    COLLECT PRAYER

    God our Father, who by sending into the world the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification made known to the human race your wondrous mystery, grant us, we pray, that in professing the true faith, we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

    Prayer for Surrendering to the Will of God

    Heavenly Father,

    Conform my will to Yours that our wills may be one.  

    Jesus, God who became man, You showed us how to submit ourselves to the will of God the Father, even during difficult trials that we do not wish to endure, when you said before Your Passion, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39). Help us in our trials to actively submit ourselves to the will of the Father.  

    Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your kind spirit guide me on ground that is level (Ps 143:10).  

    Amen.

    Prayer for a Holy Life 
    St. Anthony, model of great holiness, help me to live as a worthy son or daughter of God, faithful to the promises of my Baptism. You know how serious are the dangers and difficulties of my life. Grant that I may overcome all temptations to evil and have the courage to witness to my faith. 
    Obtain for me, from Our Divine Savior, a heart that is capable of loving God above all things, and open my soul to a generous and sincere love of my neighbor. 
    Help me to be willing to assist and serve anyone who is in need. Encourage me by your holy example, so that I may be most open and receptive to God’s perfect and all powerful love. 
    Amen.

  • Ep. 02 | Happy Are Those

    We all want to be happy. But we are often wrong about what we think will make us happy.  True happiness, the one thing that can never be taken away from us, is our relationship with God.

    --

    Opening prayer from St. Augustine's Confessions:

    Great are You, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Your power, and of Your wisdom there is no end. And man, being a part of Your creation, desires to praise You.  You move us to delight in praising You; for You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.

    22 min
  • Ep. 01 | I Am That I Am

    Our first episode!  We discuss the existence of God and redefine our idea of God.

    --

    Thanksgiving and Praise prayer:

    Father, I rejoice in your love for me.  You thought of me and so loved the idea of me that You created me.  Each moment You are at work, loving me into existence.  Thank You, Father, for accepting me as I am and for the special gifts I have received from you this day.
