Join us for this episode of Divine Intimacy Radio “Pope Leo XIV: Father or Foe?” as we continue talking with Gavin Ashenden, former Anglican bishop,
“I’ve found this to be absolutely critical in this hour of history: we must refuse to be offended at God. This is what it means to honor mystery. It means in the face of disappointment, we get comfortable simply saying, “’I don’t know.’” – Jonna Schuster
“The hope of a Christian confronts every trial, even death itself. Christian hope does not just raise our spirits; it raises a battle flag against all the troubles of this life.” – Glenn Dickinson
“The goods of this world, whether superficial or profound, will never, can never, provide the deep, lasting joy that our hearts yearn for, that we were made for.” – Fr. John Bartunek
‘Our Lady of Pontmain quietly entered into my life this morning quite by happenstance – if there be such a thing, really.” – Denise Trull
“Most of us are hoarders in one way or another. It’s something we do to protect ourselves against feeling powerless, or against feeling grief.” – Fr. Derek Sakowski
“How pure is my faith? How confident is my hope? How selfless is my love? The honest answer to these questions will reveal to us where we are, really, in our relationship with God.”- Fr. Jeremiah Shryock, CFR
“With the Spirit, light is more luminous. Colors are brighter. Joy is sweeter. Life is richer. From the first moments after Pentecost, Christians have known what is it is to suddenly be awakened to the breathtaking presence of God even in the ordinariness of things.” – Claire Dwyer
“Something in us goads against death even as its alienating power threatens all that is most dear to us. How do we find our standing when our hearts are weak?” – Dr. Anthony Lilles
“Jesus does not want his Church to be a place of mere survival, but God’s own hospital in which we experience healing, redemption, restoration, and total transformation.” – Fr. Derek Sakowski
