The Pilgrim Soul

Adrianna and Sofia have a conversation about faith through the lens of heresy, which is the choice of a partial view of God. What were some of the major heresies of the early Church? Where do we see them in the culture today -- and in our own lives? And what do mercy and tenderness have to do with it? // Our weekly challenge is to meditate on the story of the prodigal son, Luke 15:11-32.

Sofia and Giuliana talk about prayer. What is the relationship between prayer and the rest of our lives? Why does Luigi Giussani say prayer is begging? Then, through the lens of our personal journeys, we explore the unique beauty and power of different forms of prayer, including the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Lectio Divina, and the Rosary.

Adrianna and Giuliana discuss suffering. We start by talking a bit about theology: If God loves us, why do we suffer? Then, we get more personal: How have we found freedom in suffering?
