Contemplata

As humans we face many difficulties in our day to day lives. It is important to meditate on the presence of Jesus, and of his love, in order to be able to love in return. Loving our neighbors, and loving God through our sufferings can be hard, but a greater knowledge of God’s love for us can make all things easier to bear. In Episode 49 of Contemplata, join Fr. James Brent, O.P., as we learn more about God’s Love.

Every time we make an act of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we receive new graces in our souls. Our union with the life of Jesus Christ will grow more and more. Fr. James Brent, O.P. recommends simple prayers of faith, like ‘Jesus, I believe in you,’ even when it feels like our prayer is dry, or God is not present. Learn more about prayer and our relationships with Jesus Christ in Episode 47 of Contemplata.

Our sufferings are the sufferings of the Lord. We are not isolated individuals - God’s plan is unfolding in our lives. God calls us to become another Christ in our suffering. “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). Learn more about Christ's presence in our suffering in Episode 46 of Contemplata, hosted by Fr. James Brent, O.P.

How do we grow in true humility? In this episode of Contemplata, we meditate on Psalm 131 and learn how silence, prayer, and trust in God shape the humble heart. Drawing on the image of a child resting in its mother’s arms, this reflection invites us to set our souls in tranquility before the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to form us, little by little, in the humility of Jesus Christ.
