Description

Discover enduring lessons on integrity and perseverance as we draw wisdom from Bishop Jacques Bossuet's reflections on Jesus' response to persecution and calumny. This episode delves into the events of Christ's final days, offering an intimate look at how He navigated the treacherous tides of political and religious turmoil with unshakable grace. As we move closer to Holy Week, we are invited to embody the resilience and purity of conscience exemplified by Jesus in the face of grave injustice.With our journey into Passiontide, we bear witness to the harsh realities Jesus faced, including the false zeal of the Pharisees and the manipulative uses of political power. As Bishop Bossuet eloquently guides us through these historical and moral intricacies, we are challenged to examine our own responses to life's adversities. This episode prompts an introspective exploration of our own spirit, urging us to confront our trials with the same integrity and compassion as our Savior. Join us in this meditative experience that transcends time, teaching us to navigate contemporary society's complexities while staying true to our deepest values.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/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: 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!”
