Have you ever wondered how a simple invitation can transform someone's spiritual life? Join the three of us: Mike Hayes, Father Damian Ference and Christy Cabaniss, as we unravel the power of community and the art of welcoming others into our faith journey this Easter season. In our latest heartfelt discussion, we dive into the nuances of inviting friends to Mass, from becoming a "Mass buddy" to leveraging technology for creating inclusive spaces. We also relive the vibrancy of Holy Week, with Christy's touching recount of the Easter Vigil at St. Mary's and Father Damian's and Mike's marathon of services that bring the solemnity of Good Friday to life.
Then, we nestle into the warmth of St. Mary's Parish community, where the beauty of shared liturgy and the statues of saints offer more than just a visual feast—they're beacons for spiritual kinship. We reflect on how these symbols of faith provide comfort, particularly in the journey to find a spiritual mother in Our Lady.
The episode then shifts to a contemplative gear as we ponder over the gospel, delving into the mystery of Doubting Thomas's absence and what it tells us about belief, community, and the human heart.
So, pull up a chair and let's explore these Easter reflections together—because sometimes, the most profound lessons come wrapped in the joy of shared experiences.
