Why does the Catholic Church have a liturgical year? Jeff explores the significance of the liturgical calendar and explains how it helps us conform our lives to Christ's life. From the start of Advent to the Feast of Christ the King, Jeff breaks down the seasons, colors, feasts, and solemnities that shape the liturgical year. He also shares practical ways to integrate the liturgical cycle with our personal schedules to live more fully united to Christ.

A Life of Thankfulness
Gratitude helps us shift our focus from our troubles to the blessings God has provided. Jeff Cavins reflects on the story of Jesus cleansing the ten lepers from Luke 17 and the profound lesson it teaches us about gratitude. Jeff offers us ten ways to cultivate a grateful heart, such as keeping a record of God's faithfulness, looking for blessings in the mundane, and participating fully in the Eucharist.
Gratitude doesn't change God, but it will change you.*

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
We are all brothers and sisters in the family of the Church. We are one. Jeff Cavins encourages us that even in a political climate that attempts to divide us, we need to maintain this unity in each other. Jesus is the only one who is able to heal our world, so let us remain in His love together.

The number one thing for us as Christians is not that we all politically agree, but that we maintain the unity of the Spirit in the Body of Christ.

Praying For Our Leaders
What can we do to make a difference in our political climate? Jeff Cavins points to scripture as he talks about why we should be praying for our leaders and those entrusted with the responsibility of keeping us safe. There is power in prayer. You can do your part by praying for the Lord to guide their decision making and to use them as instruments for good.

Politics can help set the table, but we have to come to the table and be a part of our society.
