One Soul Podcast

We are each called to be a reflection of God's light to the world - and it all comes down to how much kindness we put into our daily interactions with others.

Sometimes, often even, we lose our peace. It is in those moments that we can practice the virtue of patience so that when really tough times arise, we'll have the ability to sustain our interior peace.

We're all attached to something, even if it's not obvious at first. Discovering what it is that we are attached to can help us to become freer when we work on letting it go. 

Humility is one of the most precious virtues in all human relationships, and it should guide all our actions. The alternative is to be a slave to pride. 

This lent, let's put all our focus on the person of Jesus Christ, remembering that he is the reason of all our goals during this time. 

It is because of our Faith and the active expectation of our Hope that we ought to Love; to exercise charity in all we do, just as Jesus did in each moment of his life. 

Hope is a virtue - an act of the will. A longing and an expectation for eternal happiness! 

The first Theological virtue, Faith, is key to getting to heaven, but it is a gift; a gift we should look after and never neglect. This faith needs to be the stamp in all our actions every day.

Bringing in the new year with a refocus on where God wants us to be. 

It's easy to get caught up in the season of Christmas without Christ - let's find little ways to keep the focus on Him this year. 

Our Lady, the most beautiful woman who has ever existed on this planet, is another gift from God to us. He made her our mother, your mother, and my mother. We ought to love her and build our relationship with her. There is so much we have to learn from her.

Advent means preparation. It is a time in which we can take the beautiful opportunity the Church offers us to build this relationship with God that we are looking for. Let's not waste our time and get to it!

Through baptism, you have received a calling: "Go to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel". You are an apostle of the 21st century Just where you are doing what you do, bring the name of Jesus to those God has put around you.

God is great and has given you everything you have. On top of that, he has a plan for you. That plan is your vocation. And your vocation, whichever it is, has God in its centre.

After the original sin, sin seems to be a partner of human beings on this earth. You and I have the option to change that, to make the grace of God our company on the way to heaven because sin will only lead us to hell. This is possible, but first, we need to know what sin is.

As the saying goes, only 2 things in life are certain: death and taxes. We will all face God at the end of our lives, and when we go before him, we hope that we've lived a saintly life so that he takes us straight to Heaven. However, even the smallest imperfection cannot enter Heaven - so we may need to spend some time in purgatory first. Just as we would want, let's pray for those there who long...

Society tries to teach that joy and happiness can be found in ways that take us far away from God who is the ultimate source of joy. We need to be a reflection of the real joy that can only be experienced by living a life of faith and always be able to model and teach it through positivity and cheerfulness.

Our spiritual life has ups and downs and sometimes it seems that we lose the direction in which we are meant to go. This can become an issue if we neglect ourselves and our souls by not correcting our actions toward God. Consequently, we should evaluate our day daily, make some amendments, and continue to grow spiritually.

Since we fell with original sin through our first parents, we struggle with our weaknesses, and we tend to fail our Lord over and over. However, his unconditional love has no limits, and his mercy has no end, to the point that he craves that we get back up and reconcile with him. No matter how many times we fall, He wants to wash away our sins so we can be in communion with Him.

We live in a constant battle between good and evil. The enemy does not rest, and in order to hold our place on God's grounds, we must be aware of their power and influence, and how they work to make us fall.

Another wonderful gift we have been given, but which we often forget, is our very own guardian angel. From the moment we begin to exist, they are by our side to advise, accompany and cooperate with us so that we can accomplish our mission: to reach heaven. 

God teaches us from the very beginning of the bible to the end that, in the Eucharist, the bread and wine truly become the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. And as he said, "Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you do not have life within you."

We are loved in a way that is beyond our capacity to ever comprehend. We were literally loved into existence. Our God has given us his heart and it's up to us to correspond to that gift and to share it with those around us. 

Our one goal in life is to get to Heaven. The surest path there is by embracing the difficulties, small and big, of every day, and turning them into an encounter with Christ at his Passion. 

Communication is key for all interpersonal relationships. It's the same with Our Lord. When you spend time with him in prayer, he reveals himself to you on a deeper level. This episode will give you tips and examples of how you can develop this friendship.
