Podcast: Three Minutes with Newman

Lent offers us an opportunity to grow in the desire to become more like Christ.

For Newman, prayer is conversation with God, but it is a divine conversation which prepares us for heaven.

We must have an active faith that can see through – not over, or around or in spite of our difficulties – to our final home.

In the poem Sleeplessness, John Henry Newman writes about trusting in God, and putting aside our pride and self reliance.

Christmas comes with sorrows and joys, but especially with great joy from the birth of Our Savior.

Knowing the difference between forgiveness and pardon will give us even greater resolve to change and atone for past sins.

In this time of Advent, we should be watchmen of the kind who gaze toward heaven, waiting for Our Lord.

St. John Henry reflects on the uniqueness of the soul of each human created by God, and on doctrine of judgment after death.
