This week Fr. Michael uses the Letter to Diognetus (chapters 5 and 6) as a jumping off point for our episode this week, inspired by Deacon Michael Hyatt's episode on this same topic. Fr. Michael talks about the paradox of being in the world but not of it.
This week we continue our "Meet the Nun" series with Mother Iliana! Mother Iliana talks about suffering and sickness, and how we encounter God in our suffering. She also talks about visiting the sick and how allowing others to visit you when you're sick helps them fulfill Jesus' command to visit the sick.
This week Fr. Michael talks about the need for us to recognize the work God is doing throughout our entire life - the things we're working on and the things that come naturally to us.
This week Mother Natalia reflects on a homily given by friend of the podcast Fr. Dufresne on sin. But it's not that episode on sin! Mother Natalia talks about the ways we fall into sin, how sin is like a sickness which spreads to others, and then how we heal.
This week Mother Natalia talks about the difference between destitution and poverty and how we're all called to poverty. She even gives us homework at the end of the podcast!
We're so happy that you're enjoying our vocation podcasts, we thoughtFr. Michael should share his! Fr. Michael walks through his childhood into college years and sees where the Lord was guiding him every step of the way until his priesthood.
We were featured on SEEK in December and we're dropping the episode here in case you missed us! Father Michael and Mother Natalia share stories of their friendship, how SEEK played a part of their lives, and then talk about Divine Liturgy.
