Today on the Abiding Together Podcast, Sister Miriam, Michelle, and Heather continue the conversation in week three of Lent on Fr. Jacques Philippe’s book Searching for and Maintaining Peace. We talk about how fear often causes us to self protect or hustle to escape suffering instead of trusting God. We discuss the power of making space for God and his providence in our lives and how we can trust him when we experience suffering.

Quote to Ponder
“The Lord can leave us wanting relative to certain things
(sometimes judged indispensable in the eyes of the world), but he
never leaves us deprived of what is essential: his presence, his
peace and all that is necessary for the complete fulfillment of our
lives, according to his plans for us.” —Fr. Jacques Philippe
Scripture for Lectio Divina - Matthew
6:31-33
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will
we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For it is the Gentiles who
strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows
that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of
God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to
you as well.”
