60 | Missing Moments
Thursday Nov 21, 2024
Thursday Nov 21, 2024
Every moment is an opportunity to experience the presence of God. Every event, every encounter, every interaction can be a way for us to experience God's divine life. But what happens if I miss those moments? Will God still pour out his grace?
We have the temptation even just simple distractions that can have us 'miss the moment' and neglect being aware and present to the "sacrament of the moment," which is in fact, an opportunity to be united to the Divine Will of God.

In this episode, we look at the dynamics of why your priest might be super busy.

There is a tremendous amount of Grace that comes when we least expect it. God has his way of intervening in our lives in those moments. This could be an actual grace, the help of God redirecting your life, engaging in your response and asking for a deeper awareness of God present in your life.

What do the saints say about fire? What does scripture say about fire? Why is it used as a metaphor for God's love?

We'll look at writings from Bonaventure, John of the Cross, Richard of St. Victor, Mary of Alocoque and scripture. Joined by Br.
