August Living LIT: Living with Heaven in Mind

What if your family's August was shaped not by the back-to-school rush, but by the rhythm of the Church?

In this month's Living LIT episode, we're exploring the beauty of August through the lens of the liturgical year. Traditionally dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, August invites us to slow down, treasure Christ in our hearts, and keep our eyes fixed on Heaven.

Together, we'll discover how this month's feast days tell one beautiful story—from the glory of the Transfiguration to the joyful witness of St. Lawrence, the sacrificial love of St. Maximilian Kolbe, the hope of the Assumption, and the persevering prayers of Saints Monica and Augustine.

We'll also talk about what Liturgical Living really is—and what it isn't. It's not about creating picture-perfect celebrations or adding more to your family's already full calendar. It's about intentionally bringing the life of the Church into the life of your home, allowing the seasons and feasts of our Catholic faith to shape the rhythm of your family one small step at a time.

Whether you're just beginning your Liturgical Living journey or have been celebrating feast days for years, this episode is filled with practical encouragement and simple ways to make your home a place where the faith is lived, celebrated, and passed on.

Because every feast is an invitation.

Every season is a gift.

And every home is called to become a little church.

May this episode inspire you to embrace the beauty of the liturgical year, encounter Christ more deeply, and continue bringing the faith to life in the little church you call home.

"The goal is not perfection, but participation." & “Special, not stressful!”

Have you ever wondered how God speaks to us in the ordinary moments of life? How can we recognize His presence amid the joys, struggles, and everyday routines of family life?

In this episode of Living LIT, I'm joined by my dear friend, Sr. Lucia, a spiritual director with years of experience in Ignatian spirituality. Together, we explore the remarkable conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the timeless wisdom he offers for growing closer to Christ.

We focus on two foundational concepts of Ignatian spirituality—consolation and desolation—and how learning to recognize these movements of the heart can help us discern God's gentle invitations each day. You'll also discover what it truly means to "find God in all things" and why this simple shift in perspective can transform the way we pray, make decisions, and live out our faith.

Whether you're new to Ignatian spirituality or looking to deepen your relationship with the Lord, this conversation will encourage you to become more attentive to His presence in the ordinary moments that make up the little church you call home.
