Spiraling Upwards

Here we discuss the Sacrament of Baptism, which opens up for us the Life of Grace, joining us to the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Son of God, Jesus Christ by means of the human nature He took to Himself in the Incarnation.

Today we begin a new series on the Seven Sacraments, by asking generally what the Sacraments are, and how they meet our human need for sensible signs that bring about interior grace in our souls.

In this episode, we discuss the idea of demonstrative proof, and why Christ contents Himself with confounding His enemies, while He demonstrates His Resurrection fully only to chosen witnesses.

In this Good Friday bonus episode, we dig into the reality of Christ's Passion, and how we should go about being authentically compassionate to Him.

In this episode we discuss the idea of human suffering, as the rational experience of pain, and how our suffering becomes a means of participation in the redemptive suffering of Jesus Christ.

On this Feast of the Annunciation, we take a moment to pray imaginatively about the extraordinary moment when God came into His world through the consent of a 14 year-old girl.

In this episode we consider the importance of drawing close to the childlike heart of our Savior Jesus Christ, as an antidote to the overly self-conscious, self-critical pursuit of Straight A's in the spiritual life.

Today we zoom out, to look at the purpose of this Lenten time through the overall analogy of "Spring cleaning," and to ask where in the clutter we should begin again to put our interior life in order.
