Description

As we navigate the tumultuous seas of Lent, I find myself reflecting on how often we, like Jonah, try to avoid the divine plan set before us. We examine the reluctance of Jonah to face the Ninevites, a tale that resonates with our own spiritual voyages, and the trials we encounter when faith calls us to challenging tasks.In the quiet moments of this season, we are reminded of the importance of steadfastness in our penances and reflections. I am filled with gratitude for the companionship of each soul partaking in this shared spiritual endeavor. Through our collective meditation, we seek the serenity that Jonah found, ultimately aligning our steps with the divine will. It's with a heart brimming with thanks that I look forward to the continuation of our daily meditations, guiding and walking alongside you through the remaining days of Lent.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!”
