Series on “The Father” by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 7)
What’s the role of rules and laws? Rules create boundaries and usually define the best way to do things. However, following rules can also not lead to freedom; this is why we need to learn to find the right balance.
In this episode, we will discuss the spirituality of laws and rules and how we can find balance to be safe, secure, and free in following them. We are also invited to look at some of these rules that we have established, these etiquettes or cultures that we’ve put on ourselves, our neighbors, or our pastors. Let’s do some discernment of whether or not these are from God or not. We also need to go deeper and see what’s at the heart of why we do that. Remember, you have the power to bring these reflections to the Lord for deeper understanding and guidance.

Jeremiah was “remember. ” When we don’t know what to do or how to act, Mary tells us to remember her son, Jesus’ actions. That was the case for Fr. Jeremiah, and this is an invitation that extends to all of us. There is a richness and importance that Mary plays for us not to have her be a part of our spiritual life. This episode invites us…

Building on Rock
Why do we feel a certain way? This would be a great question to ask ourselves once we identify and name what we feel. It’s good to learn what’s ultimately at stake in every emotion, test, or situation we encounter and understand why it’s so important to us.
