Hearts, clubs... and religious orders — Saint In Progress, Episode 27

With summer so close, it’s a good time to plan how to continue to grow in your spiritual life. In this episode, Mike talks about the Church’s special devotions in the months of June, July, and August. He also takes on the dangers of the “my parish is my club” mentality, and wraps up with a discussion on religious orders: what they are, how they’re different from diocesan priests, and a thing called “religious third orders” that you might be called to join.Links:* Sacred Heart Enthronement Network* Sacred Heart Store* Association of the Precious Blood* St. Lois de Montfort’s Total Consecration to Jesus through MaryOur work here on Substack is made available at no charge, but that doesn’t mean that it’s free to make.
