S6 E1 Pursuing Peace with Andrea and Jennifer

Show Notes In the premier episode of Season 6, Jennifer and Andrea provide an update on how they did with their respective words of the year from last year before sharing their words for 2026. Quotes​“The origins of true courage are always found in humility and surrender.” Alexandria DeSanctis (Evangelization Culture, issue #22) ​“Courage, courage, my daughters. Remember that God does not give anyone more trials than can be suffered and that his majesty is with the afflicted. For this is certain; there is no reason to fear but to hope in his mercy. He will reveal the whole truth; and some machinations, which the devil kept hidden so as to create a disturbance, will be made known.” St. Teresa of Avila​“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” Mark TwainPrayer​Unity Prayer  - Elizabeth KindlemanMy adorable Jesus, may our feet journey together. May our hands gather in unity, may our hearts be in unison, may our souls be in harmony. May our thoughts be as one. May our ears listen to the silence together. May our glances profoundly penetrate each other. May our lips speak to pray to the eternal father.Scripture​Luke 21:19​Romans 5:3-4​1 Corinthians 13:1-13​John 15:4​Luke 10:38-42 (Martha and Mary)​Book of Songs (Song of Songs)​1 John 4:7Links​Flame of Love​Sarah Kroger, Belovedness​Deacon Joe book ​Diary of St. FaustinaPrayer for all of our listeners and the souls who have gone before us.Journaling Questions​If you had a word of the year last year, how did it go?
