What do we really want? We live in a world of competing desires. Every day we’re bombarded by promises to make us truly happy. If you just buy this product, or read this book, or try out this dating app, or start this diet program, or exercise more, then you will be happy. If your relationship with your spouse or with your children or with your friends were better, then your heart would finally be full.

No matter how hard we try, nothing less than God will satisfy our hearts: As St. John of the Cross puts it, “They are as deep as the boundless goods of which they are capable since anything less than the infinite fails to fill them.”

Living immersed in a secular culture is hard on our faith. We have to be even more intentional now than in past ages, perhaps, about nourishing and protecting that faith, since the predominant worldview is constantly attacking it. This Retreat Guide, Navigating Stormy Seas, will help us do that

Mary Magdalene Meditation Novena DAY 9 with Liz Tabish by RCSpirituality.org

Florian Racine graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in engineering. As an undergrad he had a passion for the Eucharist. After a few years of working as an engineer in Houston, he moved back to France (his native country) and was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon. After ordination, his passion for the Eucharist continued. He then founded a community named Missionaries of the Most Holy Eucharist. His bishop, Dominic Rey sent his community to the sanctuary of St Mary Magdalen in St Maximin la Ste Baume (southern France). He is the rector of the Basilica and welcomes groups of pilgrims who come from all over the world to meet, discover and pray St Mary Magdalen.

In this interview he shares the history of the tradition and relics in southern France as well as his own reflections on the relevance of Mary Magdalene in our faith journey.
