Description

Embark on a profound Lenten exploration of the soul's journey, guided by the timeless teachings of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet and the insights of Saint Augustine. As your host, I take you through a reflection on the soul’s creation and its earthly struggles amidst sin. Together, we delve into the essence of spiritual death — a consequence more severe than its physical counterpart, and how it signifies a separation from God, the very life force of the soul. Through scriptural wisdom, we understand that repentance and spiritual rebirth hold the key to overcoming this chasm, bringing the promise of new life through Jesus Christ.With the solemnity of Lent upon us, it's imperative to recognize the sacrament of confession as a beacon of hope for those in search of redemption. In the spirit of Bishop Bossuet's perspective on the soul's eternal fate, I share my personal reflections on the transformative power of confession. This episode is an invitation to all listeners to embrace this sacrament. 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!”
