“Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” Matthew 6:21

Join John and Victor in the Lenten journey on the 7 Deadly Sins this week as they discuss the sin of Greed. Our possessions, time, and talents are gifts from the Lord and how often we allow our attachments to these things to control us and rob us of our joy and living a life of freedom with the Lord. Hoard not the things of the world, but virtue, prayer, time with Him. How do we combat greed? Charity. Generosity. Seeing everything as a gift. “The greedy man is really not rich, but poor. He does not control his money but is controlled by it. He does not possess his wealth but is possessed by it. He may have many things, yet for him he has all too little.” ~ St. Anthony of Padua

Scripture passages to pray with:
-1 Timothy 6:10
-Matthew 6:19-21
-Luke 12:16-34

In this episode:
-Letting go of fear and grasping for possessions and turning in trust to the Lord
-Not letting our possessions possess us
-“Everything is disappointing except the Redemptive Love of our Lord.” ~ Archbishop Fulton Sheen
-No one can serve two masters…you cannot serve God and money (Matthew 6:24)

They remind us that we are not alone in our imperfections and that envy is something we all struggle with in our lives The two also discuss the transformative power of genuine sacrifice and how true spiritual growth often requires us to give up not just the superficial things but also those deeper attachments, sins, and wounds that keep us from fully embracing God’s will.

“The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness.” – Pope Benedict XVI

You don’t have to look around long to see that the world needs Catholics that are willing to boldly live their faith. Unfortunately, many of us can often find ourselves retreating back into the comfort and safety of those like us. While there is nothing wrong with surrounding ourselves with like minded people, we must never close the door to those in need or become uninviting to the unchurched. Jesus never said you are not welcome in my group or at my table and neither should we. Listen in this week as John and Victor discuss the importance of fighting the urge to retreat back into the comfort and safety of the initiated while challenging us to become the missionary disciples we are called to be. It’s time to get uncomfortable.

In this episode John and Victor discuss:
– The need to return to the mentality of a missionary church
– Fighting the urge to close ourselves off in small groups that aren’t welcoming to those in need.
– Running towards the unchurched instead of away from them.
– Loving people the way Jesus did

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about”

We all have had confrontations with strangers, co-workers, and even family and friends that haven’t always gone the way we would like. Oftentimes, these interactions can leave us upset and we can move quickly to anger, premature judgments, and resentment towards the other person. As Christians, we are called to be better than that. We are called to love others, to forgive, and to turn the other cheek. While these are not easy things to do in a moment of confrontation, they are the very things that allow us to live out the Gospel in our lives. We just never know the wounds and the battles people are facing at any given time. Listen in this week as John and Victor discuss ways to meet confrontation head on with the love, mercy, and forgiveness Christ commands us to.

In this episode John and Victor discuss:

-Their personal experiences with out of the blue confrontation and what they learned from it
-That we have a choice in how we react to others
-Going to scripture to see how Jesus tells us to handle confrontation
-What to do when you are blindsided by someone
