How do you experience beauty, and how does it move you? God presents to us the gift of the beauty of the world. Beauty is usually in the eye of the beholder; we all experience and see beauty differently. But at the same time, it is commonly an experience of awe and wonder before the other or the world. We are invited to be more open to the beautiful things in our lives, be moved by different expressions of beauty, and allow our hearts to be expanded to acknowledge what’s truly beautiful through our lenses and others as well.
In this episode, we will talk about the gift of beauty, how we can see it differently, and how we can be more open to how beauty calls us to love and communion.

You see a different side of someone when you see what makes him or her cry. Seeing a person weep, and knowing why — the thing he or she cares about so deeply as to be moved to tears — is a deep insight. Lazarus. Jerusalem. Sin. Jesus weeps at these. That tells us something important, for a man who weeps…

Thy Will Be Done
This is NOT a How to Discern episode. It’s much closer to the foundation. What does the “will of God” even mean? What about “surrendering my life to God”? Discernment isn’t a calculation or program or roadmap, it’s not a “do this and do that and God’s mystery in your life will be revealed…
