Our journey through Lent reaches day 20, and we're exploring the depths of Christ's fortitude as He faced His trials without a word of complaint. Drawing from the insights of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet's "Meditations for Lent," we uncover the spiritual resonance of silent endurance. This is not merely about Christ's example but an invitation to each of us to embrace patience and forsake the need for immediate human consolation when life throws its inevitable challenges our way. As we traverse this season of reflection, we'll consider how embracing this quiet strength can profoundly transform our own trials and tribulations.As the midpoint of Lent draws near, let's circle back to the commitments we made at the beginning of this solemn period. It's time to rekindle the disciplines of penance, abstinence, prayer, and almsgiving and press onward with renewed vigor. We're not just counting down the days until Easter; we're building spiritual endurance that will carry us beyond. Let this episode be the catalyst that reignites your devotion as we discover together how the Lenten traditions can offer us unparalleled strength and inspiration for the second half of our journey and every step that follows.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
