Description

As we journey deeper into the season of Lent, I invite you to join me in a contemplative exploration of spiritual growth and self-reflection. This week's meditation, drawing from Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet's "Meditations for Lent," focuses on the parable of the Wicked Tenants—a narrative that serves as a stark reminder against the dangers of spiritual complacency. Discover how this timeless tale calls us to cultivate the fruits of the Holy Ghost in our daily lives and reflect on the gravity of living in alignment with God's will.Embark on an intimate pilgrimage without leaving your home as we engage with the Stations of the Cross through the lens of St. Alphonsus' profound meditations. Fridays during Lent can transform into a powerful journey alongside Christ as we contemplate His passion and our own role within it, sometimes confronting the discomfort of seeing ourselves in the shoes of His adversaries. Let this chapter be a source of spiritual fortitude as we together seek to enrich not only our Lenten practices but our entire 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!”
