Father Michael Stalla gives practical wisdom on how to remain consistent in our prayer routines.
Many of us have been told over and over again to just accept whatever suffering comes and "offer it up." Father Michael offers wisdom and advice for discerning when what we are enduring is redemptive suffering and when it is not. God does not ask us to "offer up" abusive treatment that violates our dignity. If you are a Catholic woman in an abusive relationship or just need support from a Catholic Community, please come to Hope's Garden.https://hopesgarden.com/join-our-community/
Betrayal, abuse, and traumatic events leave us wondering, "Where am I safe? Who am I safe with?" Father Michael speaks gently to our wounded hearts and helps us to truly believe that we are always safe with Jesus.
So often we are told to rest in Jesus and let Him restore us. But how do we actually rest in Him? How do we drink deeply of His Living Water? Father Michael gives us some practical prayer ideas for letting Jesus refresh us.
A sacramental marriage is the visible sign of the mutually self-sacrificing living-giving love of the Holy Trinity. Father Michael explains the difference between a sacramental marriage and a civil marriage and how to make God the third Person in your marriage.
God asked Hosea to marry an unfaithful wife so Hosea would come to know the depths of God's love for us - His unfaithful people.
We desire to remain in God's peace and to surrender our worries, our decisions, our wills into His loving hands but how do we actually do this? Father Michael, spiritual advisor of Hope's Garden, gives us some excellent suggestions on how to actually surrender to God.
Father Michael explains the four pillars of the sacrament of marriage: free, total, faithful, and fruitful.
Through His healing miracles Jesus reveals not only Who He is but who we are - God's beloved children. And our true dignity as God's children cannot be shaken or tainted by how others treat us.
Father Michael talks about how taking time to rest in the Lord during Eucharistic Adoration strengthens us to fight temptation.
