   Episode 330 - Behold Your Mother

   From the cross, Christ sees his mother and gives her to the beloved disciple—and to us. As the Church bears and nourishes us, Mary becomes the face of that motherhood: loving, interceding, and leading us toward her Son. We are given a mother who shares our trials and draws us into Christ’s life.

   Episode 329 - One Calling: Love

   Our gifts differ, but our calling is one: to love and build up Christ’s body in unity. That love is patient with one another and steadfast against the sin that breaks our peace. We submit to one another in reverence for Christ, and grow together toward his fullness.

   Episode 328 - The Low Seat

   We belong in the low seat, knowing that every dignity we have is God’s gift. Christ takes that place before us, emptying himself in humility; in love, God calls us up to share his life. We surrender the grasp for control and wait for the invitation that only grace can give.
