Series on “Prepare Your Heart” by Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR. (Part 2)
Can you believe that God is working with what’s happening in the world? As exemplified by St. Juan Diego, during this Advent and throughout the year, we are invited to live in relationship with the Lord through Mary, our Mother, our Lady. We can do that by beginning with a humble Yes. Let’s say Yes and allow ourselves to be interrupted by her intercession and have confidence in the love and trust she has for all of us—to trust that she is here and very much alive. For as Mary comes, she is with Jesus.
Despite the discouragements in various parts of the world, there’s also the truth that God is working in the humblest places, and we are always invited to keep crying out to Him. This episode is the second part of this year’s Advent series, where we begin to look into the lives of different saints of Advent.

Optimizing Confession
Going to confession regularly can become routine — a checklist — instead of what it can be: an encounter with God. Examine not only your sins, but also the one you’ve sinned against; the Lord. Because there’s a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. You receive forgiveness; you’re…

The Prodigal Son (Lent 2024)
Would you receive the Father’s unconditional love if you were the prodigal son? The Father wants us to convert from a conditional, perfectionistic way of experiencing God to a place of just being unconditionally loved by Him. But we can sometimes hold onto shame for security. What is asked of us is to leave behind that shame—let the shame and self-contempt crumble. We don’t need to “pay rent” to be loved by the heavenly Father…

When we’re struggling, when we don’t understand, when we’re having deep desires and longings of our hearts, the Holy Spirit will come.
