About this episode

Sr. Ann reflects on the Gospel message of finding rest in Jesus and the hope of redemption despite sin.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus invites us to go to Him, and He will give us rest. God always has hope. Even if we experience punishment, even if we’re in anguish because we have sinned against God, God can still turn that around as long as we come to him. Don’t let any sin, no matter how great, keep you from coming to him. Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings: Isaiah 26:7-9, 12, 16-19 Psalm 102:13-14ab and 15, 16-18, 19-21 Matthew 11:28-30 Deeper Conversion Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Times More of the Holy Spirit Captured By Mercy This is a public episode.
