In this throwback episode of the Catholic Link podcast, Fr. Rob discusses our journey through a spiritual desert during Lent. Lent is about how to live in paradise…now. It’s a great rescue story, the story of us being pulled out of slavery and into the Promised Land (but to do that we must go through the desert). In this episode, Fr. Rob talks to us about what Fr. Rob is and maybe more specifically what it isn’t.
Also, go read The Great Divorce by CS Lewis.
Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George Elliot discussed how showing interest in conversations with other people is an act of charity. Charity is simply willing the good of the other for the other’s sake. It is often synonymous with community service and volunteer work. But a simple conversation with another person is also an act of charity. Someone approaches you to talk about goat treadmills. Perhaps it’s not a topic you have interest in. However, we exercise charity in this situation when we engage the other and express authentic and genuine curiosity. Listen to Fr. Rob and Fr. George share more thoughts about this topic.
