In His Story

In the very first episode of In His Story, we invite you into the story that God has been unraveling in our lives and friendship. In our conversation, we hope to encourage you to seek out faithful friendships and community that you can adventure with towards Heaven! We are all called to be saints! It's possible. We briefly cover the life of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati (who has become very near and dear to us) and his example of pursuing holiness in everyday adventure.Our encouragement to you is to look to the people God has placed in your life and make an invitation for a coffee, a beach day, or whatever it is that brings you life. Invite others into it (just as St. Pier models for us)!We are so excited to embark on this journey with you! It is such a gift to share what the Lord is doing and we are eager to see what He will bring about in this community we will all discover In His Story.Scripture and QuotesJohn 4:35-38Divine Mercy in My Soul, St. Faustina (768,769) “It is a strange thing that although the soul which experiences this union with God cannot find words and expressions to describe it, nevertheless, when it meets a similar soul, the two understand each other extraordinarily well in regard to these matters, even though they speak but little with each other. A soul united with God in this way easily recognizes a similar soul, even if the latter has not revealed its interior [life] to it, but merely speaks in an ordinary way. It is a kind of spiritual kinship. Souls united with God in this way are few, fewer than we think.  I have noticed that the Lord grants this grace to souls for two purposes. The first is when the soul is to do some great work which is, humanly speaking, absolutely beyond its power. In the second case, I have noticed that the Lord grants it in order that kindred souls might be guided and set at peace, although the Lord can grant this grace as He pleases and to whomever He pleases.”"I should thank God every day, because He has given me such good friends who form a precious guide for me throughout my life." - St. Pier Giorgio FrassatiThe Four Loves by C.S. Lewis (pgs. 114-115)“In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting--any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends, "Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another." Friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of all the others. They are no greater than the beauties of a thousand other men; by friendship, God opens our eyes to them. They are, like all beauties, derived from Him, and then, in a good Friendship, increased by Him through the Friendship itself, so that it is His instrument for creating as well as for revealing. At this feast it is He who has spread the board and it is He who has chosen the guests. It is He, we may dare to hope, who sometimes does, and always should, preside. Let us not reckon our Host.”
