Don’t Go Into Easter Without Asking Yourself This (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

About this episode

Fr. Mike Schmitz challenges listeners to consider their association with Jesus during Lent and Holy Week, emphasizing the joy of being with Him despite suffering.

Throughout Lent, and really throughout the entire Christian life, we keep Christ crucified before our eyes as a reminder of how deeply we are loved. But it also confronts us with a question: Do I want to be associated with that? Fr. Mike Schmitz challenges us, especially during Holy Week but also every day, to answer honestly: Do I want to be associated with Jesus, even if it means suffering? Our hope is that the answer becomes “yes,” day after day. Because no matter the trials or sacrifices, nothing compares to the joy of being with Him at the end of it all. Support The Fr.
