Description

Discover the transformative power of spiritual reflection as we journey through Lent with the prophetic insights of Jeremiah. Our latest meditation delves into Bishop Jacques Bossuet's "Meditations for Lent," shining a light on the prophet's role as a prefigurement of Christ. Learn how Jeremiah's intercessions and lamentations reveal the raw emotions of a man seeking divine grace amidst trials and how his experience parallels our own struggles for reconciliation and peace. This episode is not merely a recounting but an invitation, an invitation to explore the depths of repentance, mercy, and hope. We examine the potency of prayer as an act of faith, even for those who may oppose us, and ponder the steadfast love that binds us to the divine, even in despair. As you listen, be moved by the timeless call to turn towards the mercy and restoration promised by God, and consider the role of intercession in your life as a source of strength and solace. Join us on this sacred contemplative path, and let the tears of Jeremiah be a guide to your own renewal and faith.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!”
