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.

Jesus’s Favorite Things: Seeing the Unseen
How do you think Jesus sees us? Jesus’s heart desires to see us, to have the unseen be seen. But he doesn’t just want us to be seen as collected and consumed.
