Dear Christians, during a presidential election year, it is important to reflect on the nature of Liberty and how we properly subject it under Christ. La Liberté guidant le peuple is a famous painting by Eugene Delacroix which is the focus of my reflection in this episode. Will we take Eve as our model and grasp at Autonomy under one idea of liberty? Or will we take Mary as our model and the freedom that is grounded in Christ?

My friends, on today's episode I share a devotional that I was introduced to over the summer. Please, join me as I explain how to pray "The Love Chaplet." The Ministry sharing this devotion is called Grace & Mercy Ministries and the prayer has been shared with permission by the local ordinary (details at love chaplet.com).

I also will put a video on YouTube showing how to pray the chaplet.

Dear Christians, in this episode I reflect on the virtue of Magnanimity. We look at the roots of the word as well as how Aquinas defines it in the Summa. I also read from Scripture to show three biblical characters who illustrate Magnanimity ranging from bad to good. Readings from the parable of the Talents in Matthew/ the rich young man in Mark/ and David vs. Goliath in 1 Samuel.

Thank you for tuning in! On this episode, I reflect on the importance of TODAY. It is Today that we enter the struggle of prayer. It is Today that we encounter Christ. I end the episode with an Examen that I use. I hope you find something in this episode to help in your walk with Christ!

Jesus Christ is Priest, Prophet and King. When we are baptized we are baptized into this identity and mission. In this episode we talk about how Christ is King. We lean into our Baptism when we acknowledge that Christ is MY King. This can't just be a pithy statement, it has to be how we live our lives. Thank you for tuning into this conclusion to my series on Baptismal Identity.

Jesus Christ is Priest, Prophet and King. When we are baptized we are baptized into this identity and mission. In this episode we talk about how the prophets of the Old Testament functioned to call the people to conversion and proper worship. This function is taken up by us when we lean into our baptismal identity as prophets. I end with an invitation to draw close to the heart of God. Next week will be on the Kingship of Christ, so see you then!

Jesus Christ is Priest, Prophet and King. When we are baptized we are baptized into this identity and mission. This will be covered over the next three episodes. We begin this episode reflecting on 1 Peter 2 and how we can engage with our baptismal identity as priest. Check in next week for the prophet episode and the final episode in two weeks when we discuss Christ's Kingship in our lives.
