In 1858, our Lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in a Grotto, in Lourdes, France. On May 21, 2024, I went with 15 volunteers to serve at the Shrine in Lourdes. We stayed there for seven days. Jack Fedewa and Anna Wilberding were two of the volunteers. Today they share their experiences, their stories, and what they brought back with them from this amazing trip to Lourdes.

Just as God is a community, a Trinity of Persons, so too, man—who is created by God—was made to live in community. This social aspect of man is embedded in our human nature. Today I talk about how the human society and even the civil authorities are willed by God. I also talk about the principle of “subsidiarity”. Don’t miss this great episode!

During the Sacred Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, we could identify different ways in which people offended God. We have Judas, who was instrumental in capturing our Lord; St. Peter who denied Jesus three times; some of the Pharisees and the leaders of the Sanhedrin; there was Pilate himself, who could have released Christ. And finally, there were the Roman soldiers. They were the ones who actually nailed Christ to the Cross. There were sins of word, deed, omission and thought. We will discuss these different types of sins in today's episode.

When there’s a car accident, your vehicle can be dented or scraped, or it could be totaled. Something similar happens with sin. Sin can be venial or mortal. And these two are essentially different degrees of sin. Through mortal sin we lose the state of Grace, and if we die unrepented and with that mortal sin in our soul, we cannot enter Heaven. This is what we will address in today’s episode. Listening and applying the content of this episode can make an eternal difference in your life.

Evil is an undeniable reality in our world. But the worst evil is that of SIN. Through sin we deliberately break the law of God, offend our Creator, and hurt our neighbor and ourselves. But the Mercy of God is greater than our sin, and with the grace won by Jesus Christ we can overcome sin in our lives!
