    Love Him Ever More: From Observing the Streets to Observing Your Own Heart | Katrina Santos

    Kumusta, mga kaibigan! When was the last time you looked at a photo of yourself as a baby—not for nostalgia, but to really ask: Who was I before the deadlines, the roles, the pressure to perform? In this episode of JOSh Friends, we're diving into Love Him Ever More by Fr. Joseph Laramie, SJ—a nine-day personal retreat that invites us to examine our own hearts before stepping into the mission of Christ. Joining us is Katrina Santos, a marketing manager whose five-minute walk to work became an unexpected classroom. In the chaos of sidewalk vendors, competing billboards, and unruly streets, she learned to observe—not just the world around her, but eventually, herself. Through a simple retreat prompt about baby photos, Katrina uncovered something painful and freeing: somewhere between childhood and career goals, she started measuring her worth by what she could produce. In this heartfelt conversation, she shares her journey—welcoming 2026 in Hong Kong Disneyland, practicing gratitude over cake, and learning that joy doesn't cancel stress, it coexists with it. This episode is for anyone who's been moving too fast, living on deadlines, and quietly wondering if they're still connected to their own heart. Love Him Ever More becomes a gentle companion in learning how to receive God's love not as something earned, but as something already given—from the very first moment you existed. ✨ Let's put our faith into action by making space for reflection, gratitude, and healing. Love Him Ever More by Fr. Joseph Laramie, SJ is available now at JesCom Exclusives.Visit jescom.ph/josh and journey with us.
