S15 E2 - Living the Mysteries (Part 2)

  • Summary

  • In this week's episode, we look back and remember both the glorious and luminous moments in our lives. We share how allowing the Holy Spirit to overshadow us has brought forth an overflowing of grace and restoration in our lives. We also reflect on how God desires to restore our voices in places where we are afraid and have become silent. Today, join us in reflecting on your recent faith journey to discover the beautiful ways God has been shaping your soul through your own glorious and luminous mysteries. Glorious - something you see the Lord redeeming and restoring (it can be in process) Luminous - something the Lord brought to light, an area or pruning, longing, and an ache Heather’s One Thing - The song Hell or High Water by Amanda Cook Sister Miriam’s One Thing - All moms whose kids went away to the first day of school Michelle’s One Thing - Spindrift half lemon & half tea and this Ice Maker Journal Questions: What were the glorious mysteries (something you see the Lord restoring) of my summer?What were the luminous mysteries (something the Lord brought to light, an area of pruning, an ache) of my summer?How is God restoring your voice in this season?How have I forgotten that the Gospel is costly? Discussion Questions: What have you been carrying by your own power, instead of by the Holy Spirit’s overshadowing?“You do not need a new plan, you need a new posture.” What new posture is the Lord inviting you to?What parts of your life need the gentle, healing touch of Jesus?How has God responded to the aches and longings of your life right now? Quote to Ponder: "Dear friends, what an immense joy to have Mary Immaculate as our Mother! Every time we experience our frailty and the promptings of evil, we may turn to her and our hearts receive light and comfort. Even in the trials of life, in the storms that cause faith and hope to vacillate, let us recall that we are her children and that our existence is deeply rooted in the infinite grace of God. Although the Church is exposed to the negative influences of the world, she always finds in Mary the star to guide her so that she may follow the route pointed out to her by Christ.” (Angelus, December 8, 2009) Scripture for Lectio: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6) Sponsor - Ascension: It may seem like holiness is unattainable for normal, everyday people. But one saint shows us that our littleness is actually the way to holiness. In Story of a Soul, St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s autobiography, this little saint has taught generations that God can make us saints through unbounded confidence in his love and an embrace of our littleness.
