Embrace

Join us for a time of Prayer, Scripture, Song, and Praise.

This episode we will talk about one last attempt of the enemy to overpower us. The weakest point. 

In this episode, we continue our conversation on how the enemy works to dissuade us from the path. He keeps us silent and in the dark. Who do we talk to when we find ourselves in spiritual turmoil?

If you are heavy laden and need to give the Lord your anxieties come and dwell with us for a time of prayer and intercession. Here is the live recording of the prayer Livestream on 04.04.26. In God's time there is no time. Enter in.

This episode is on how the enemy operates depending on our response. We delve into the metaphor St. Ignatius uses with the woman who is not following the path. We take it a step deeper and explore the role of Woman and Man.

This episode we talk about humility and realizing what we can do with God.

This episode we are talking about how to act in consolation. How to become spiritually prepared for the next time we find ourselves in desolation when it inevitably comes.

Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices.” -St. Teresa of Avila John 6:37-40 Romans 5:5-11 Luke 4:13-14

This episode covers the reasons for desolation and why this happens in our lives. What does God have to do about it? Is it my fault? Do I have to earn God's favour?

This episode is on resisting Desolation. St. Ignatius calls us to consider how we are left to our natural powers and what we should do. God whether we feel it or not is still with us giving us grace.

When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, He often permits us first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue and a promise by God that you will be successful, if only you stand fast.”
