Episode 237 - Restoring Communion, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 2) What does it mean to be restored, sons and daughters? How do we begin? Jesus was always in prayer, and we are invited to do the same. This is why restoration should begin with the gift of prayer and communion with God. We would also need to create a space for restoration and have the sensitivity and receptivity to be in a deeper communion with God. In this episode, we continue our 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe and try to learn how we can listen to God more deeply and restore our realities as sons and daughters of God.

Episode 236 - Rebuild to Reconsecrate, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 1) What does restoration or reconsecration look like, why do we need it? Restoration and reconsecration mean finding our lives once again in Christ and putting Jesus right at the center of our lives. It means to desire to grow, go deeper, and learn again that God is our Father and that Jesus can lead us to a deeper way of being sons and daughters. If you're currently facing the reality of your brokenness, waywardness, or exile, wherever you find yourself right now—that's okay. The gift of our baptism can be restored and renewed through Jesus and Our Lady is gonna help us to do that. Just as Our Lady of Guadalupe restored Juan Diego’s hope, she can help you restore your sonship or daughtershhip in God the Father. In this episode, we're gonna look into how we can rebuild and reconsecrate the chapel of our hearts as we start a 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

How do you experience beauty and how are you moved by it? God presents to us the gift of the beauty of the world. Beauty is usually in the eye of the beholder, and we all experience and see beauty differently. But at the same time, it is commonly an experience of awe and wonder before the other or before the world. We are invited to be more open to the beautiful things in our lives, be moved by different expressions of beauty, and allow our hearts to be expanded to acknowledge what's truly beautiful through our own lenses and others as well. In this episode, we will talk about the gift of beauty, how we can see it differently, and how we can be more open to how beauty calls us to love and communion.
