Description

Make Lent of 2024 edifying with daily meditations for Lent from the famous French orator, Bishop Jacques-Benigne Bossuet.Embark on a spiritual odyssey with me as we navigate the profound revelations of Jesus being "the truth and the life," guided by the timeless wisdom of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet's "Meditations for Lent." Even as a bout of illness attempts to dampen our spirits, I'm here to share the essence of Lenten reflection and the sovereign nature of truth that must be pursued through both knowledge and love. Through the lens of Jesus' life and teachings, we grasp the guiding principles for a virtuous existence, steering clear of deceit and the illusions of pride. Join in this episode to uncover how living authentically in Jesus' truth can illuminate our path and how the Eucharist serves as the embodiment of the life we yearn for.I invite you to persevere in your Lenten disciplines and consider Bishop Uswe's call to detach from earthly desires. As we fortify our spirits through fasting, abstinence, and penance, let's embrace the deeper significance of our sacrifices. I'm grateful for your presence on this journey, confident that our collective meditation will lead to spiritual edification. Join me in anticipation of the next morning's reflection, with a heart open to the blessings and transformative power of this sacred season.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!”
