In this episode, we discuss what happens in our lives during the summer, through the lens of the four mysteries of the rosary: joyful, sorrowful, luminous, and glorious. We chat about how each of our lives are a pilgrimage and how even when we cannot feel or see it, God is continuously working. Today, we invite you to reflect upon your recent faith journey and discover the beautiful ways God has been shaping your soul.    Heather’s One Thing - My revised prayer space Sister Miriam’s One Thing - The book: Wisdom of the Heart by Dr. Peter Kreft  Michelle’s One Thing - Two songs: Joy by Ben Rector & The Choir Room and Mannasseh by Anna Golden    Discussion Questions: Which Mystery of the Rosary has resonated with you most in this chapter of your life? Which Mystery of the Rosary has been the hardest for you to resonate with in this chapter of your life? What does it mean for your body to be a temple of the Holy Spirit? Where in your body are you experiencing healing? Where in your life are you looking for resuscitation from God when He wants to offer you resurrection?   Journal Questions: When I hear the word “pilgrimage,” what areas of my life come to mind? Where in my life am I experiencing delight? Where in my life am I experiencing sorrow? Where in my life am I experiencing God’s glory? Where in my life am I experiencing illumination? Where in my body are you experiencing healing? Where in my body am I in need of healing?   Quotes to Ponder: When we enter the desert of doubts, let us stop and pause and understand that we are on a pilgrimage. This moves our soul and our hearts ever closer to God. And that strange mystery, of believing when there is nothing to believe in, is the key to complete trust in God and the dissolution of doubt.” (Catherine Doherty)   Scripture for Lectio:  “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” (Hebrews 11:8)   Sponsor - Ave Maria Press Erica Tighe Campbell, owner and designer of Be A Heart, has created a stunning, full-color, hardcover guide to help you celebrate the faith throughout the year.

Are the fruits of the Holy Spirit present in my relationship with my spouse? With my community? With my children? Are the fruits of the Holy Spirit present in my home? At work? Do I have a teachable spirit?   Quotes to Ponder: The gospel image of the vine and the branches reveals to us another fundamental aspect of the lay faithful's life and mission:the call to growth and a continual process of maturation, of always bearing much fruit. (Christifideles Laici Paragraph 57) To be able to discover the actual will of the Lord in our lives always involves the following: a receptive listening to the Word of God and the Church, fervent and constant prayer, recourse to a wise and loving spiritual guide, and a faithful discernment of the gifts and talents given by God, as well as the diverse social and historic situations in which one lives.

In this week’s episode, we continue with part four of our study on Christifideles Laici. We dive deep into the role of women and discuss how embracing the fullness of our femininity can uniquely help heal the culture. We also reflect on how the Church is like a loving mother and each one of us belongs and is deeply cherished. Whether we are young or old, a man or a woman, healthy or sick, each of us are invited to offer our gifts in God’s vineyard.    Heather’s One Thing - Ascension’s Catechism  Sister Miriam’s One Thing - The song Peace by Bethel Music Michelle’s One Thing - Word on Fire Bible Volume III (or on Amazon here)   Discussion Questions: How can women prepare Christ’s Bride, the Church, for Christ? How is God inviting you to see womanhood as a gift? What is God’s mission for your family? How do each of your family members participate in that?   Journal Questions: Do I feel like I belong in the Church? How am I being sanctified by my current season of life? How have I diminished my voice and accepted smallness disguised as littleness? What is God calling my family to?   Quote to Ponder: According to the gospel parable, the "householder" calls the labourers for his vineyard at various times during the day: some at dawn, others about nine in the morning, still others about midday and at three, the last, around five (cf. Mt 20:1 ff.). In commenting on these words of the gospel, Saint Gregory the Great makes a comparison between the various times of the call and the different stages in life: "It is possible to compare the different hours", he writes, "to the various stages in a person's life. According to our analogy the morning can certainly represent childhood. The third hour, then, can refer to adolescence; the sun has now moved to the height of heaven, that is, at this stage a person grows in strength. The sixth hour is adulthood, the sun is in the middle of the sky, indeed at this age the fullness of vitality is obvious. Old age represents the ninth hour, because the sun starts its descent from the height of heaven, thus the youthful vitality begins to decline. The eleventh hour represents those who are most advanced in years... The labourers, then, are called and sent forth into the vineyard at different hours, that is to say, one is led to a holy life during childhood, another in adolescence, another in adulthood and another in old age". (Christifideles Laici Paragraph 45)   Scripture for Lectio:  "Jesus, looking upon him, loved him" (Mk 10:21).   Sponsor - MyCatholicDoctor: MyCatholicDoctor is a nationwide organization that brings a network of faithful medical professionals to patients through video visits/telehealth, home visits, and office referrals.

In this episode, we continue with part three of our study on Christifideles Laici. We discuss how we are all called to evangelization, how our unique gifts allow us to bring Christ’s light to the world in different ways, and how our lives can be a living witness of what we believe. We also reflect on why community with family, friends, and our parishes is essential in cultivating mission, and how our mission is reciprocally accomplished within communion.    Heather’s One Thing - The album Live in the Prayer Room by Jeremy Riddle Heather’s Other One Thing - Our staff behind the scenes: Camille, Kate, and Kristina Michelle’s One Thing - The Book Living the Seasons: Simple Ways to Celebrate the Beauty of Your faith Throughout the Year by Erica Tighe Campbell  Sister Miriam’s One Thing - Overnight chia protein pudding   Discussion Questions: How is your life and mission bearing the fruit of communion? How are you being called to participate in the time of re-evangelization? How are you experiencing a paralytic spirit of fear? Where in your life do you want to invite the Holy Spirit into?   Journal Questions: Who am I? Where do I belong? How is God inviting me to make a gift of my life? How can I be salt and light to the world? Is my life bearing the fruit of communion?   Quotes to Ponder: Communion and mission are profoundly connected with each other, they interpenetrate and mutually imply each other, to the point that communion represents both the source and the fruit of mission: communion gives rise to mission and mission is accomplished in communion (Christifideles Laici Paragraph 32)   The family is the basic cell of society. It is the cradle of life and love, the place in which the individual "is born" and "grows". (Christifideles Laici Paragraph 40)   Scripture for Lectio:    "Each branch of mine that bears no fruit, he (my Father) takes away." John 15:2   Sponsor - SOLT Motherhouse Campaign Instead of a sponsor today, we wanted to highlight a fundraising campaign that is very near and dear to our hearts. The SOLT Sisters (Sister Miriam's order!) are building a Motherhouse in Corpus Christi, TX so that they can not only provide housing and medical care for their aging sisters, but also so they can better serve their community locally and abroad. The mission of the SOLT sisters is to be the light of Christ in areas of deepest apostolic need. They serve in many capacities including education, evangelization, pastoral care, retreats, health care, and drug rehabilitation. The sisters have already raised over $5.5M and are 73% of the way to their $7.5M goal.  If you feel the call to donate to the Motherhouse Campaign, you can visit SOLT.net/motherhouse. There you can learn more about the campaign, donate, make a pledge, or share the word about the mission of the beautiful SOLT sisters. If you want to help the SOLT sisters but feel like you are unable to do so financially, join us in saying a prayer for their campaign.

In this episode, we continue with part two of our study on Christifideles Laici. We chat about unity within the Catholic Church, the role of your local parish, and the importance of community. We reflect on how easy it is to focus on the differences we encounter instead of the beauty of its complementarity and rich diversity. We discuss the need to restore the culture and how participation in our parish communities can build communion and encourage others to develop an authentic love of Jesus.   Heather’s One Thing - Family photos taken by Laura-Anne Heather’s Other One Thing - The song Pure Abbie Gamboa from Upper Room Sister Miriam’s One Thing - The Godsplaining Podcast with Fr. Gregory Pine Michelle’s One Thing - Lavender Lemonade and Lavender Lemonade Cupcakes (Gluten Free Version Here). This is the lavender syrup I used.    Discussion Questions: What is your investment in your local parish? How have you engaged with the Church with a consumerist mentality? Where in my heart do I fall into divisive thinking about the Church? What gifts and charisms is God inviting you to use in service of the Church?   Journal Questions: How have I experienced communion with my parish and the Body of Christ at large? Am I allowing the gifts and preferences of others to be seen in the lens of complementarity? Am I praying for communion and revival within the Church?   Quotes to Ponder: 'Communion' speaks of a double, lifegiving participation: the incorporation of Christians into the life of Christ, and the communication of that life of charity to the entire body of the Faithful, in this world and in the next, union with Christ and in Christ, and union among Christians, in the Church" (Christifideles Laici Paragraph 19)   A member of the lay faithful "can never remain in isolation from the community, but must live in a continual interaction with others, with a lively sense of fellowship, rejoicing in an equal dignity and common commitment to bring to fruition the immense treasure that each has inherited. (Christifideles Laici Paragraph 20)   Scripture for Lectio:  “Abide in me and I in you” John 15:4   Sponsor - Endow Endow seeks to educate women toward a more profound understanding of their God-given dignity through study in small group communities of faith and friendship. John Paul II once said: “Woman has a genius all her own which is vitally essential to both society and the Church.” The Church needs you to be empowered to cultivate the feminine genius in every aspect of life and society. There are women just like you looking for friendship and who are looking to learn from the intellectual tradition of the Church. Be transformed by studying John Paul II’s On the Dignity and Vocation of Women in an 8, 10, or 12-week Endow group. Start or join a group with other women to ponder the anthropology of man and woman, God’s intention for their relationship, woman’s vocation to motherhood, and the Church as Bride of Christ. Visit endowgroups.org for more resources on how to join or start your own Endow group. 

In this episode, we begin our five part summer study of St. Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Exhortation, Christifideles Laici: on the vocation and the mission of the lay faithful in the Church and in the world. We share why we are excited for the study, ways we have been personally convicted to grow in faith, and what the universal call to holiness looks like in our everyday lives. In a time when darkness seems to be growing, we ponder how Jesus is the hope for humanity and the sense of urgency we should feel in being His light bearers to the world. The Lord has called you to holiness and to bear fruit in this world, wherever you may find yourself.    Friends, in our study of Christifideles Laici, you will hear us talk about the recurring theme of community. While reading this apostolic exhortation and listening to each episode by yourself will certainly bear fruit in your life, we want to take a moment to encourage you to reach out to your friends and start a small group to discuss each chapter. We provide on our website journaling and discussion questions you can use, download, and print to begin the conversations. Our hope is that wherever you are, you can build authentic friendships, rooted in Christ, with those around you.   Heather’s One Thing - The Ember Mug  Heather’s Other One Thing - Clothed with Power from on High: A Short Catechesis on Charisms in the Life and Mission of the Church by Bishop Scott McCaig, CC.  Sister Miriam’s One Thing - Just a Guy in the Pew Ministry Michelle’s One Thing -  The Rule: St. John Paul II's Rule for a Joy-filled Marriage of Divine Love by Theresa Martin and the Word on Fire article about the book Michelle’s Other One Thing - The song Fear is Not My Future by Todd Galberth and Tasha Cobbs   Discussion Questions: What has been your experience with papal encyclicals? What questions do you have before we dive in? How is God calling you to recognize the sacredness of the human person in your daily life? As we discussed in the Lenten study, how have you seen God invite you on mission in this season? Where is your place in the vineyard and what does it look like?   Journal Questions: What words am I speaking into my family, my community, and my culture? What sensitivities am I noticing in my heart to the challenges and limitations in the world around me? How can I help? How is God inviting me into deeper prayer and surrender in my daily life?   Quote to Ponder: The gospel records that the weeds and the good grain grew together in the farmer's field. The same is true in history, where in everyday life, there often exist contradictions in the exercise of human freedom, where there is found, side by side and at times closely intertwined, evil and good, injustice and justice, anguish and hope.

In our final episode of Season 12, we dive deep into how the Lord has been working in our lives since we began the season in January. We acknowledge how easy it is to get caught up in the struggles of life and forget to take time to stop, pause, and remember the blessings we have received. We open up about the seeds the Lord has planted in our hearts, the areas in our lives He is re-awakening, and the spiritual fruit we have seen blossoming. Through our vulnerability, we hope you are inspired this summer to reflect on how the Lord has been working in your life and share it with someone you’re close to. Friends, we have enjoyed every moment of season 12 and are excited for where the Lord takes us next. Thank you for being on this journey of life with us. We hope you join us for our summer study that begins July 17 and our next season beginning in September.  Heather’s One Thing - The song Tend by Bethel and my fruit salad tree Sister Miriam’s One Thing - The song Detour by Sarah Kroger (lyric video) or (live performance)  Michelle’s One Thing - The song - Benediction (Live) + Before, Behind, Beside (Spontaneous) by Rachel Morley & Kory Miller   Discussion Questions: What is the spirit saying to you?

You are lustrous and praiseworthy life. You waken and re-awaken everything that is. - St. Hildegard    Scripture for Lectio:  “Awake, north wind, and come south wind!

How have I experienced healing in my relationships, family, and friendships? Where in my family and family systems do I lack hope? How am I striving for perfection in my family?   Quote to Ponder:  “The first and fundamental structure for “human ecology” is the family, in which man receives his first formative ideas about truth and goodness, and learns what it means to love and to be loved, and thus what it actually means to be a person.” - Pope John Paul II   Scripture for Lectio:  “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” - 1 John 4:7

In this episode, we welcome Jill Simons as our guest to talk about Charisms. A charism is a grace from God we are called to use to build up His Kingdom here on earth. We acknowledge a deep lie that many people believe they don’t have anything special to offer our communities or the Church, but the truth is that charisms are given to every person by God. Jill offers practical tools to help discern your charisms, the theology behind charisms, and how charisms work within our vocations.   Heather’s One Thing - The song Most Beautiful by Upperroom and the unity that is increasing among denominations Sister Miriam’s One Thing - The St. Joseph Consecration on Hallow beginning May 1st (read by Sr. Miriam) Michelle’s One Thing - A Home in Bloom: Four Enchanted Seasons with Flowers by Christie Purifoy and The Blessed is She Journaling Bible Jill’s One Thing - Encounter School of Ministry   Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Many Parts Ministries Pink Salt Riot Many Parts on Instagram Pink Salt Riot on Instagram Jill Simon’s Instagram   Discussion Questions: What gifts and charisms has God entrusted to you? Who in your life lives out their charisms in freedom, boldness and generosity? What have you learned from them? How do you experience Christ’s love and intimacy through your charisms and prayer? How have you silenced or hidden the gifts you’ve been given or the call on your heart?   Journal Questions: How do I relate to my own gifts and charisms? Do I operate out of a performance mindset? How do my charisms play a role with my vocation and the people around me? What is the story of the Kingdom of God that the Lord is telling through my life and my charisms? How is Jesus encountering me through my charisms and gifts? What have I learned about my identity as the beloved through my charisms?   Quote to Ponder: Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which He looks Compassion on this world, Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good, Yours are the hands, with which He blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, Yours are the eyes, you are His body. Christ has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours. — St. Teresa of Ávila (attributed)   Scripture for Lectio:  For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. - Romans 11:29    Sponsor - Mary’s Meals: Mary’s Meals sets up community-run school feeding projects in some of the world’s poorest communities, where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education. The idea is a simple one that works. Mary’s Meals provides one daily meal in a place of learning to attract chronically poor children into the classroom, where they receive an education that can, in the future, be their ladder out of poverty. Today, Mary’s Meals is providing more than 2.4 million children with a daily school meal across five continents. But the need is great! The appalling reality is that there are still 73 million children living in extreme poverty in need of school feeding. Please help to reach the next hungry child waiting for Mary’s Meals.

In this episode, we discuss Pope Francis’ Easter Vigil homily about the hope that comes from remembering Jesus, our first love. We reflect on his meditations about how the women in scripture are grieved to find Jesus’ empty tomb, and like these women, we all too often become hopeless and see joy as belonging to the past. We discuss moments of personal encounter with the love of Jesus that has healed us and offer an invitation to a renewed hope in Jesus by remembering the great joy and power that comes through relationship with Him. Let us allow our ‘sealed tombs’ to be opened and restored by hope this Easter season.    Heather’s One Thing - The young leaders at Franciscan University Sister Miriam’s One Thing - Savory ham and cheese scones  Michelle’s One Thing - Let Beauty Speak: The Art of Being Human in a Culture of Noise by Jimmy Mitchell (or on Amazon here) Michelle’s Other One Thing - The TOR Sisters - Sr. Rita Claire and Sr. Brigid as well as the CSU at Florida State University    Resources Mentioned in this Episode:  Adam Young Podcast  - What to do with Your Sorrow and Grief p.1  The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis    Discussion Questions: What does it mean to live in Resurrection power? How is God encountering you in your life today? In your life today and in the past, how have you experienced disappointment and grief? Where in your life do you long for deeper freedom and joy? When have you experienced the faithfulness and kingship of God?   Journal Questions: Where have I come into agreement with despair? What “tombs” in my life do I run to in the hopes of encountering Christ? In what ways do I ask God why I experience suffering instead of how He will bring about His Glory through it? Where am I still hiding from the Lord? What lies do I believe when I am hiding?   Quote to Ponder: Yet today, brothers and sisters, the power of Easter summons you to roll away every stone of disappointment and mistrust. The Lord is an expert in rolling back the stones of sin and fear. He wants to illuminate your sacred memory, your most beautiful memory, and to make you relive your first encounter with him.  - Pope Francis, Easter Vigil Homily    Scripture for Lectio:  “I have found the one my soul loves.” (Song of Songs, 3:4)   Sponsor - Into the Deep: Want your kids to know about Jesus, and also to know Him?
