Description

Are you living your piety for the right reasons, or are you caught in the allure of human praise? Discover the profound truths of genuine faith as we journey through Lent with Bishop Jacques Bossuet. On our 14th day of reflection, we tackle the nuanced teachings of Christ regarding the practice of our Christian righteousness. Delicately balancing the command to let our light shine and the caution against hypocritical piety, this podcast offers a meditation that strikes at the heart of our spiritual intentions. As we navigate the complexities of faith in action, we ponder the valuable lesson that our actions should not seek the fleeting approval of others but the enduring affirmation of our heavenly Father.Join me, your guide, through these moments of introspection as we delve into the purpose behind our piety and the ultimate reward that awaits us. Bishop Bossuet's meditation prompts us to examine the sincerity underlying our Lenten observances. Allow your heart to be stirred by the reminder that the Father who sees in secret is the true witness to our deeds. Embrace the call to a hidden life in Christ, where the noise of the world fades, and the gentle gaze of God becomes our sole desire. Through this episode, find solace and strength in a piety that pleases not men but God alone.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!”
