Episode 205: Holy Week and Total Gift
The Poco a Poco Podcast • 50m
Series on The Ascension Lenten Companion by Fr. Mark Toups (Part 7)
This holy week, how do you intend to receive Jesus' total gift for you?
The fast during Lent is not to show Jesus how tough we are, it's to show him how poor we are. It's to be in the space of utter poverty and to trust that receptivity, that He will come.
And what we are celebrating in this holy Triduum, this Holy Week, is Christ, giving himself to us as the bridegroom and espousing himself to us, His bride. We are celebrating Jesus' love and total gift of self that is given to each of us in his passion.
This episode is all about receptivity. As we go through this last week of Lent, we continue to dive into how Jesus is the bridegroom to us and talk about being open to receiving Jesus' love and His total gift.
