S02 Ep. 07 – Allowing Ourselves to Be Led By Christ

Fr. Eric addresses the question as to whether or not we can change our Lenten promises with regards to prayer, fasting and almsgiving after Ash Wednesday in reflecting on the importance of looking to participate in God’s work, as opposed to merely doing randomly good things. 

Furthermore, Fr. Eric speaks about how an intentional approach to prayer, fasting and almsgiving can completely change how we enter into these spiritual disciplines.  To illustrate the point, Fr. Eric uses the example of how St. Francis de Sales taught St. Jane de Chantal to approach these various disciplines with a spirit of patience, gentleness, meekness and humility. 

Fr. Eric concludes with a discussion as to how the examen prayer can assist us in becoming more closely conformed to the will of God, as well as help us move in the direction of greater freedom in our relationship with Christ.
