In this episode, Father Phil Elias, Chaplain of Redfield College, is joined by Father Paul Muller from Tangara. Together, they dive into the season of Lent, exploring its meaning and how we can prepare our hearts for a deeper encounter with Jesus.

They discuss common ideas like give up or offering up things for Lent and how this seasons isn’t just about sacrifice but about drawing closer to God. Through personal anecdotes—including Father Paul’s love for tennis—they highlight the importance of keeping our focus on Christ, much like keeping an eye on the ball in sports.

Join them as they unpack practical ways to approach fasting, almsgiving, and prayer with joy, ensuring that our Lenten journey leads us to a true transformation of heart.
