What if you could recalibrate your life to hear God’s voice above the noise and chaos of this world? From the 2nd Sunday of Lent, Fr. Dom dives deep into the heart of Lent, a season that’s not just about giving up chocolate or coffee, but about repositioning yourself to know, love, and serve God in a way that changes everything.

We start with a piece of Scripture that echoes through Lent: “If today you hear the Lord’s voice, harden not your hearts.” It’s a call to action, brothers, and I’m breaking it down for you—why it matters, where to find His voice, and what happens when we tune out. From Abram’s 4,000-mile journey of faith 4,000 years ago to the transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor, I connect the dots to show how these ancient stories aren’t just history—they’re blueprints for us today. You’ll hear about Abram’s covenant with God, a wild ritual with split animals that proves God’s promises are unbreakable, and how Jesus’ disfigured body on the cross leads to our glorified future.

But here’s where it gets real: Lent isn’t just a 40-day slog through the desert. It’s a chance to meet Jesus where you’re at—messy, broken, or doubting—and let Him work miracles in your life. I’ll walk you through the power of the Eucharist, where science meets faith (yes, every Eucharistic miracle studied points to the flesh of Jesus’ wounded heart), and why submitting to God—tough as it is—unlocks a strength you didn’t know you had.

Your Challenge: This week, carve out 15 minutes a day to sit in silence and listen for God’s voice. No phone, no distractions—just you and Him. Journal what you hear, even if it’s just a whisper. Then, hit Mass and receive the Eucharist with intention, asking God to transform your heart as you consume His. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

Listen now to discover how to make this Lent your turning point—because when you give your heart to the Lord, He doesn’t just take it; He transfigures it. Push play and let’s journey into the desert together.

3 Powerful Quotes

1. “If you want to give your heart over to the Lord, you eat his heart. Every Eucharistic miracle, when it’s given to scientists, just a piece of that Eucharistic miracle that has changed into the body and blood of God, when it’s dissected and studied, it’s always the flesh of Jesus’ heart.”
2. “God makes his covenants with us and he holds himself accountable. That’s how much he loves us and wants to redeem us.”
3. “He climbs Mount Calvary and on Mount Calvary his body is not transfigured but his body is greatly disfigured. Scourged, beaten, bruised, bloodied, whipped. You can’t even know who he is. And he did that for you.”

Submit to God’s voice daily, even when it’s hard. Start by listening in silence for 15 minutes—tune out the world and trust He’ll meet you there. It’s not about control; it’s about surrender that builds unshakable faith.
