We reflect on our son's graduation from Benedictine College, the emotions it stirred, and why this season feels like a spiritual turning point. We also discuss easy ways to follow Pope Leo XIV's papacy and explore how God meets us despite our past and calls us forward — again and again.
Plus: why it's a great time to be Catholic.
After our son's graduation from Benedictine College, we found ourselves unexpectedly reflecting on regret, longing, and the paths we didn't walk — and why that matters less than where God is leading us now.
In this episode, we share:
• Why Benedictine stirred up something deeper in us
• The difference between envy, jealousy… and something else
• How Pope Leo XIV's early messages are already shaping Rosary Army
• What to watch for in his weekly addresses and Regina Caeli reflections
• Why now is a really good time to be Catholic — even when the future feels uncertain We also welcome all the new Rosary Army Soldiers who found us through CatholicTV, EWTN Radio, and Catholic Faith Network. We're glad you're here.
