Father and Joe E433: Your Life Is a Mission—Little Things, Great Love
What if the story of your life isn’t “nothing much happened”… but a mission God is speaking through you?

We talk about using these invocations before Mass (or anytime), and why letting God into real emotions—abandonment, anger, discouragement—becomes the doorway to healing. Through it all we keep the three lenses in view: growi...
