Transitions and the Spiritual Life - The Inner Life - January 17, 2025

Fr. Brian Gross joins Patrick to discuss Transitions and the Spiritual Life What does hope have to do with transitions? (13:42) Mary - I just received a letter. It has to deal with inheritance. Father recently died. I'm going to trust God I make heaven, and let Him be in control. (19:51) Break 1 E-Frank - I believe that transitions are not only phases, but transitions of feelings.  They allow us to develop in God's likeness as more mature human beings. (26:25) Cindy - Had a huge transition.  God had a plan.  Husband passed suddenly.  Lots of questions.  Through the next year, I cared for parents who had health issues.  Wouldn't have had that capacity if I also had to deal with my husband being ill. Email – What do you do with a change that happens in the family like divorce? Cecilia - When we moved from Mexico to US, my life changed thanks to Relevant Radio! (38:31) Break 2 Rudy - I worked for Disney for 33 years. Got let go for writing something on FB. Blessing in disguise because now I work for a school district which is something much greater. (43:18) Dorothy - 6 years ago, lost my son. He died in the water trying to save his 3 boys and wife. 1000 people at his funeral. I just put one foot in front of the other and kept doing what I've been doing. He did save his boys and wife.  Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep doing what you're doing. Email talking about a change that deeply affected her prayer life.
