Series on The Ascension Lenten Companion by Fr. Mark Toups (Part 3)
Are you familiar with the parable of the Good Samaritan? When we’re beat up, when we’re in this place of difficulty and shame, He’s there, at the side of the road, looking at us, desiring to pick us up and saying, “Come with me.”. That’s Jesus for all of us. The invitation of this episode is to allow the Lord to get close into our deepest places of darkness and shame so he can help us and love us there. Jesus comes into our messiness, and He loves us unconditionally. This Lent, let Jesus unconditionally love you and let the healing begin.

Perseverance Not Pretty
Do you think God calls us to be perfect or just to be pretty? I think not. What we’re called to is not pretty or perfection but perseverance. Sometimes, having a very happy-looking social media feed is much easier than having a happy heart and home in reality.
