Listen "Letting Gifts be Gifts"
Episode Synopsis
This week Mother Natalia continues with her topic of goodness from her last episode, and uses a homily as a jumping off point to talk about gifts. The homily followed the reading about Noah and the flood, and talked about how Noah and the people in the Ark were waiting for the gift of land to be able to live. Mother Natalia also talks about the difference between gifts and the giver, and how we can have attachments to the gifts instead of the giver. We also have a listener suggested mini topic and talk about Mark 3:28-30.References:Word from a Poustinik: GoodnessThe Four Loves by C.S.
