Discussed in this episode: 
  • “Become who you are.” - Pope St. John Paul II;
  • How to make sense of our call to both take care of ourselves and enter into Christ’s suffering through self-denial;
  • Rooting our penance, mortification and sacrifice in our immense dignity as sons and daughters of God;
  • The beauty of the Catholic mystery in the “both/and”;
