In this episode, we discuss lent and the virtue of mortification—what it truly means to “put to death” our desires, both the bad and the good ones that may hinder our spiritual growth. Mortification isn’t just about denying ourselves harmful habits, but about surrendering everything, even good things, in order to grow closer to God. By embracing this discipline, we learn to pick up our daily cross and follow Christ more fully. We discuss how mortification can be used as a form of prayer to create grace and by uniting it with Christ, suffering leads us to greater intimacy, with God. Tune in to learn how the practice of mortification relates to lent, can transform your life and deepen your relationship with God. Have a question, comment, or topic you'd like us to cover?
