Replay: The Happy Fault of Sin

Raised Catholic

This week as we make our way toward Palm Sunday and Holy Week, I'd like to offer a replay of a previous episode, way back to number 15: The Happy Fault of Sin. I hope it's a blessing to you and I continue to hold you and yours in prayer as we journey together with Jesus toward Holy Week.

Here are some resources I hope will help you to engage with this week's topic in a deeper way for yourself:

1. If you'd like to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation this week, you should be able to find it offered at a number of area parishes, retreat houses, missions, shrines, Catholic colleges, and hospitals. Check their websites for details and feel free to travel a ways from your home parish - it can be a good opportunity to take some time in silence and prayer. ⁠Here's a primer⁠ on how to receive this Sacrament if it's been a while.

2. In addition, check your area for Eucharistic Adoration, Stations of the Cross, services for Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, and other Lenten programming.

3. Podcast: ⁠That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs, guest John Eldridge⁠. This recent episode helped me gather in my thoughts about the last year and how to bring them to Jesus this week.

4. Podcast: ⁠That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs, guest Sally Lloyd-Jones⁠. This episode pairs so well with the one before - unknowingly they both spend a good amount of time on psalm 23, the psalm we need this week.

5. Podcast: ⁠Abiding Together Lenten Study on This Present Paradise. This is part 5,⁠ but you'll want to go back and listen to them all.

6. Video: ⁠Making a Good Confession⁠ with Fr. Mike Schmitz

7. Book: ⁠The Return of the Prodigal Son⁠, by Henri Nouwen

8. Song: ⁠Shadow Step⁠, by Hillsong

9. Song: ⁠Even Unto Death⁠, by Audrey Assad

10: Song: ⁠Run to the Father⁠, by Matt Maher

11. Song: ⁠Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus⁠), by Chris Rice

12. Song: ⁠Met by Love⁠, by Capital City Music

13. Song: ⁠Mercy,⁠ by Amanda Lindsey Cook

14. Song: ⁠O Happy Fault⁠, by Audrey Assad

15. ⁠Read the Gospel account⁠ of the last days of Jesus. Prayerfully journal or sit in silence as you contemplate just how big His love is for you.
