Series on “Prepare Your Heart” by Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR. (Part 4)
How often do you say “yes” without understanding or knowing the outcome? Sometimes, we have to see and understand the plan before we say “yes,” but that’s not our Lady’s experience. She didn’t understand, but she knew what God had proposed to him, and despite that, she said “yes.” She trusts; she surrenders in this whole experience of her life without knowing what will happen.
This is the fourth part of this year’s Advent series, where we talk about Mary and her radical littleness and dependence on grace and God. It is an invitation to how we can become more and more dependent, more and more empty, but with the confidence that we can be more and more full of God’s grace.

Ending the Year Well
Our last episode of the year… a time that often means reflecting on the last year and looking forward to the next one. As you look back on 2021, there are probably loose ends — struggles, situations — that haven’t been resolved. It’s easy to wish that everything would just make sense, but sometimes it just doesn’t…

We Do Hard Things
Love demands everything. Not only carrying the cross — dying on it. We do hard things, but not for the sake of doing hard things. When modeled after the way that Jesus did hard things, it’s a stepping stone that leads to the cross. This episode…

Restoring Communion
What does it mean to be restored, sons and daughters? How do we begin? Jesus was always in prayer, and we are invited to do the same. This is why restoration should start with the gift of prayer and communion with God. We would also need to create a space for restoration and have the sensitivity and receptivity to be in a deeper communion with God. In this episode…
