Right, Just, and Inconvenient

What should you do with your life? What can you do to ensure your children are as informed as they can be to make the decision God is calling them to make? Only God can know, of course, but isn't there always more that you can be doing? These questions plague a young adult/parent's mind. Thankfully, we have many examples to look to for guidance, no matter your calling!

Of course we don’t go about our lives hoping to suffer. Let’s face it, we’d prefer not to even be mildly inconvenienced! Suffering by definition is painful, and can make us wonder what the point is? Why does God allow it to happen? What good could possibly come of it?

All are welcome, right? Or are they? This week we dive into some points of the Catholic faith that can feel 'exclusive.' If you're Catholic, marrying a Catholic, or have recently been to a Catholic mass for the first time, you may very well have some questions. If we don't answer your questions here, feel free to contact us on Instagram or Facebook!

If you are feeling disconnected from your parish, center yourself again on the Truth. If nothing else is pulling you to the Catholic faith, know that the real presence of Jesus Christ and his divine mercy is enough! There is a sad reality, however, that sometimes the community seems to have failed us. It can be tempting to feel as if we don't belong for various reasons that we will discuss.

Last week was about femininity, and today it's going to be about how the feminist movements throughout the past century and a half had so much potential, but ultimately screwed the pooch to the point that femininity seems outdated and obscure.

Women hold a unique and valuable place in the body of Christ. We offer the world the incredible gift of our feminine genius and a seemingly bottomless capacity to receive others lovingly. It's easy to mistake God's direction for us to be submissive to our husbands as outdated and belittling. We are viewed as less-than, but the truth is that we are called to carry out that call from God while retaining equal value.

In this episode we discuss the types of prayer, and what we have learned about them. We talk about what we struggle with when it comes to silent time with God.

365 days of seeking truth has proven to be worth it! Join us as we reflect on what these past 41 episodes have taught us about ourselves and our relationship with Jesus.

There seems to be a thirst for tradition among younger Catholics, and in our experience here, we are seeing many women return to veiling at Mass.

If you’ve been Catholic for any length of time at all, you know that one of the beautiful things about our Faith is the clarity it provides. We have clear rules on most things. We set out to find out if there are rules governing the music we hear in Mass. Is Traditional vs. Contemporary a matter of preference…the equivalent of chocolate vs. vanilla? Or is there more at play than mere opinion?

When faced with moral disagreements, we remind ourselves to take a step back and remember to include Jesus in our discussions. We must remember to ask him to be in our thoughts, our words, and our hearts so that we are able to share the Truth with love.

Navigating your fertility just after having a baby is a challenge! Regardless of how you feed your baby or what method of NFP you are practicing, normal cycles can return pretty quickly or hold off for months. Today we will talk some about NFP and our experiences with it. If you are thinking about starting a method, be sure to work with an instructor to help you figure it all out!

What does it mean to be truly happy, and why does it seem so difficult to achieve when it is sometimes the only thing you are chasing? Maybe happiness to you looks like a goal to be achieved, but surely the Lord has other plans!

Jesus is the LIVING bread! At Mass we find ourselves kneeling at the foot of the cross at Calvary again and again as he comes to us fully in the Eucharist. This week, we’ll be talking about what a beautiful miracle this gift is that he has given us!

We break down what Roe v. Wade actually is, what will happen if it is overturned, and some of the ugly history intertwined with the evil that is abortion. While we wait, the best thing we can do is pray, pray, pray. Let us pray for the courage of the justices to make the right decision!

God has called each and every one of us to sainthood. We all have different personalities, different gifts, different weaknesses- but God can use all of us to advance his kingdom!

Jesus has given us Mary to be our Mother too! Take comfort in that fact. After all, who doesn’t need their mom? Run to her and never be afraid to ask for her intercession!

Jesus was not everyone's cup of tea during his earthly ministry, and he still isn't. Many heard him teach and were converted, but many also disagreed with the truth he shared. He taught us to love one another unconditionally, and to uphold his teachings. Today we talk about the proverbial morality buffet that a lot of us simply pick and choose which rules we are accepting as truth at the time instead of listening to everything Jesus taught us, and how important it is to remember that he was not a passive pacifist of a messiah.

"Humility drives Satan away" - St. Francis de Sales. It is easier said than done, and trying to explain how to be humble is in itself quite the task! This week, we share stories where we could have been better examples of humility.

Easter is right around the corner! But first it is time to solemnly walk with Jesus as he takes up the Cross for us. On today’s episode, we talk about how we observe his ultimate sacrifice in the Catholic Church in the days leading up to Easter Sunday.
