Description

As we stand on the threshold of another Lenten season, I invite you to embark on a journey of the soul with me. Lend me your ears each morning for a series of daily meditations, this time drawing upon the profound insights of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet. Father Paul Check graces us with an introduction that paves the way for our first steps into the Ash Wednesday reflection, where we contemplate the transformative power of an open heart during Lent. Together, let's venture through these days of solemn reflection, preparing our spirits for the joy and renewal that Easter heralds.Feel the rhythm of this Lenten season with our extended series of daily meditations, thoughtfully prepared to accompany you on each day of this contemplative period. Tune in as we release new episodes every morning, like clockwork, across a variety of platforms—be it YouTube, your favorite audio podcast space, or our SpiritusTV and Locals community for subscribers. Your presence and participation in this sacred time is a gift, and I am honored to share this space with you. May these reflections serve as a guide to a more profound understanding and connection with our faith, and lead us to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon

Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity. As we see it, our job here at Avoiding Babylon is to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God’s Grace.  Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world, for as Hillaire Belloc has famously said:“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,There’s always laughter and good red wine.At least I’ve always found it so.Benedicamus Domino!”
