    Does it ever feel like work is keeping you from your relationship with God? Work can be stressful, exhausting, and overwhelming. So, how can we bring God into our work instead of allowing it to separate us from God? In preparation for the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, Dr. Edward Sri shares some contemplation on the work of St. Joseph. He also shares ways in which we can turn our work into a prayer.

    Darkness in Prayer: A Lover’s Game?

Living Fatima- 5 ways to Jumpstart your Rosary

I have always been taught and influenced to pray the rosary all at once though, I heard that you can have a broken rosary, I still didn’t do it because in my case, praying the rosary all at once gives me focus and my sacrificial way of showing my love to Jesus but it is nice to hear and be educated about this because thee are really times where your time isn’t enough so I honor you Dr. Sri for always educating me and other people. Glad to know you from one of our conferences in SFC that I may be influenced properly on how to live as Catholic. Thank you and God bless.

Forgiving from the heart

Acute awareness of self, being mindful of one’s own actions leads to humility, and compassion for my neighbors.
Thank you Dr Sri for your podcast, truly an awakening moment for me in my car on my way to work. I felt like I’ve grown into a mountain ready to take on my daily “giants.” Like a mountain ready to bow low at the opportunity to encounter Christ. Looking much forward to your next enriching episode. Praying for you and for your family!
