Description

Discover the transformative power of love this Lenten season as we delve into the profound teachings of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet on Christian charity. In our latest podcast episode, we explore the three degrees of charity—loving our enemies, doing good to them, and praying for them—as illuminated in "Meditations for Lent." Embrace the call to move beyond simple forbearance to the active pursuit of reconciliation and forgiveness, a message that resonates deeply during these weeks of reflection and renewal.Awaken to a new understanding of the radical love Jesus implores us to embody, it's a love that challenges us to turn the other cheek and walk the extra mile. We explore how these acts not only surpass the value of worldly riches but also lead us to a more profound communion with the divine. As the serenity of Lent unfolds, allow the wisdom from today's meditation to echo in your heart, stirring a change in perspective on conflict and the immense power of unwavering, selfless love.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!”
