This episode is a small window into something I shared with my spiritual director about where I am finding holiness. I used to think that being a saint consisted of being very involved in church and doing great works for God, but I am finding my holiness in being a mother.

This episode is based on ramblings from my personal lectio divina and prayer time. The world tells us that being a good person is what makes a good Christian, but that is not true. Time and time again, Jesus tells us that those who keep His commandments are those who love Him. In this episode, I talk about how sin is disobedience and a distorted image of God and our relationship to Him.
Desolation, moments in which we feel hopeless, are bound to happen in the life of faith. In this episode I talk about the causes of desolation, why we shouldn't cling to the "Jesus high," and how to help overcome it.
Hope is one of the 3 Theological Virtues with which we are infused during our baptism (1st Corinthians 14:13), and it's one of the virtues the enemy will try to attack during our walk with The Lord.
Bible verses mentioned:
We are STILL in the Easter Season and as Christians need to keep on proclaiming the resurrection of our Lord, because it is the fact that He conquered death that gives our lives meaning. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus invites us to "handle me," and the sacraments give us the ability to do so. This is not something passive but something we need to live out boldly every day.
