Join me as we walk through the 13th day of our Lenten meditations with insights from Bishop Jacques Bossuet's profound reflections. Through a narrative that uncovers the human inclination to magnify others' faults while demanding divine indulgence for our own, we seek a path to greater understanding and forgiveness. This contemplative episode, drawn from Bossuet's meditations published by Sophia Institute Press, promises to guide you toward the virtues of patience, self-command, and the silencing of malicious anger.During our time together, we confront the challenging truth that those who wrong us may indeed be more deserving of our compassion than of our vengeance. We consider how our own reactions to hurt, fueled by pride and resentment, can exacerbate conflicts and harm ourselves more than any enemy could. By reflecting on scriptural wisdom, we aim to master the art of tempering our words and actions with the knowledge that a greater accountability lies beyond human judgment. This episode is a solemn call for introspection and the cultivation of a forgiving heart, setting the stage for a more peaceful and considerate existence, both within and beyond this season of Lent.Support the showTake advantage of great Catholic red wines by heading over to https://recusantcellars.com/ and using code "BASED" for 10% off at checkout!********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon
