The Inner Life
* (2:10) If you found yourself procrastinating on deciding what your Lenten practices will be, we are here to help you make a decision on today's podcast. Fr. Michael-Joseph Paris of the Discalced Carmelites joins to discuss how we can better prepare ourselves for Lent. * (11:12) Fragility reminds us how much we need the Lord. We shouldn’t look at our Lent as a failure if we slip up. We are weak and we need to rely on God every day. * (12:18) Nick - I woke up this morning and told my wife, I'm still praying about what to give up for Lent. * (20:20) Break 1 * (20:24) Tyler - I am stumped on what I should do. Did you have any suggestions? * (35:52) Break 2 * (37:09) Felipe - Maybe a good thing to do is to keep in our hearts whatever practice that we take up.
