Ep. 94 | What Are We Made For?

Have you ever noticed that the most beautiful moments in life carry a strange ache with them? In this meditation, Fr Gavan draws on Saint Augustine, Teresa of Avila, Saint Paul, and the Irish poet Paul Pierce to explain why the joys of this life are meant to make us a little homesick for heaven. Eastertide, he shows, is a season of foretastes: spring, the people we love, and above all the Eucharist are small sneak previews of a joy that no eye has seen and no heart has yet conceived. A simple invitation to let the beauty around you point you home.🔴 THIS SERIESMeditations | Ep. 94Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.
