On Purpose: The Beatitudes, the March for Life, and Preparing Our Hearts for Lent

In this powerful episode of Catholic Conversations, Fr. Peter and Randi reflect on the March for Life and key pro-life issues, emphasizing the Church’s unwavering commitment to the dignity of every human person from conception to natural death. They connect this witness to the third installment of the message series On Purpose, rooted in this weekend’s Gospel and the Beatitudes, which reveal Christ’s blueprint for true happiness, holiness, and purposeful living. The conversation highlights how the Beatitudes call us to mercy, humility, courage, and faithful discipleship in a culture often confused about truth and morality. Fr. Peter and Randi also encourage the parish to begin preparing their hearts for the upcoming season of Lent through prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and deeper conversion. This episode is rich in Catholic teaching, pro-life witness, Scripture reflection, and practical spiritual guidance for anyone seeking to live the Gospel intentionally and grow closer to Jesus Christ.
