Description

This is an interview I recorded 4 years ago, but the content was so good I had to put it out there!!

πŸŽ™οΈ Why would a loving God allow us to be poor, to struggle, or to feel abandoned?


In this powerful episode of Curiously Catholic, Fr. Mark-Mary of Ascension Presents opens up about the often misunderstood realities of God’s providence and spiritual poverty. What does it really mean to trust God when everything is falling apart? What if poverty β€” material or spiritual β€” is actually part of God's loving plan?


We dive into:

The hidden grace in our dependence

How poverty can lead to deeper faith

Real stories from religious life and ministry

The surprising freedom in surrendering control


Whether you're in a season of lack, uncertainty, or simply wrestling with big questions about God's plan β€” this conversation is for you.
