S02 Ep. 20 – Surrendering to God in a Time of Pandemic

During this ongoing time of pandemic, Fr. Eric speaks about how to cultivate a spirit of surrendering to God in this time of pandemic, focusing on a Surrender Novena written by an Italian priest named Fr. Don Dolindo.

Topics discussed include situating everything in our lives in terms of God's particular call for our lives; learning not to be thrown off by our feeling sand emotions; resisting the temptation to insist on having absolute control over every aspect of our lives; and cultivating a spirit of holding life lightly in one's hands.

Fr. Eric cites the example of the miraculous staircase built in 1873 by St. Joseph for the Loretto Sisters in New Mexico, as well as the more contemporary example of a cross that is under construction currently in St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Oshawa, Ontario.
