When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, He often permits us first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue and a promise by God that you will be successful, if only you stand fast.”

In this episode we look at what desolation is; the opposite of consolation. God does not cause desolation He allows it.

How does God move us and encourage us when we are growing in virtue? In this episode on part two of rule two and also rule three, we look at what spiritual consolation is and what the difference is with natural non-spiritual consolation and God-given spiritual consolation. We look at how to discern between the areas of awareness to cultivate peace and happiness and how to move with God and when it is Him moving or if it's the Enemy. Resources: Fr. Timothy Gallagher “The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living”  St. Padre Pio: “The Spirit of God is a spirit of peace. Even in the most serious faults he makes us feel a sorrow that is tranquil, humble, and confident, and this is precisely because of his mercy. The spirit of the devil, instead, excites, exasperates, and makes us feel, in that very sorrow, anger against ourselves, whereas we should on the contrary be charitable with ourselves first and foremost. Therefore if any thought agitates you, this agitation never comes from God, who gives you peace, being the Spirit of Peace, but from the devil.” St. Augustine Book VIII of his autobiographical work, Confessions: It was as if the virtue of continence was saying to him, “Can you not do what these men and women do? Do you think they find the strength to do it in themselves and not in the Lord their God? … Why do you try to stand in your own strength and fail?...Cast yourself upon God and have no fear. He will not shrink away and let you fall. Cast yourself upon him without fear, for he will welcome you and cure you of your ills.” Ezra 9:8-9  Zechariah 2:5 Job 22:21-23

In this episode we took a look at Rule 2 when a person is moving toward God. What does the enemy do to keep us from growing in virtue? He steals our peace. He bites with whatever obstacle he can. What do we do when we find ourselves discouraged and down? Be Aware. We discuss the needs of a composite being and learn what the concept of discernment is.  Resources https://youtu.be/qX3tc6jgJjk?si=-U_ZePeUNuuJKY5v Fr.

In this episode, we discover God's loving presence that is over us. We find that He directs all things for our good. He calls us to follow Him. He opens his hands lovingly to us in an invitation to accept His love and Mercy. After a mountain top experience, we enter great tumult to test our faith. God is present and shows us he is still there patiently waiting for us to come to Him and carry the burden and the suffering with us as well as the joys.

God is a merciful God slow to anger and rich in kindness. In this episode, we dive into the heart of the Father to see who He is. Exodus 34 shows us seven characteristics of His heart. We take a look at belonging with this merciful God and explore some science behind self-worth in Him.
