S3 E6: To Jesus Through Mary

The Daughters of St. Paul — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 00:15:00 -0400

Why do we go to Jesus through Mary?

In this episode, Sr. Aletheia (@pursuedbytruth), Sr. Nancy (@srnancy) and Fr. Harrison (@fr.harrison) talk about their struggles to relate to Mary and how they discovered the importance of her role, both in our personal lives and in the life of the Church.

Mary gave the perfect response to Christ. She pondered every mystery of his life. Now, Mary wants to share her experience of Christ with us so we can know him more deeply and live out her "yes" to him through our lives.

Join us as we unpack this great mystery.

S3 E5: Encountering Jesus

The Daughters of St. Paul — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 00:15:00 -0400

How and where do you encounter Jesus?

We often talk about the importance of having a "personal" relationship with Jesus. But sometimes, when we hear "personal relationship," we think "individual relationship"—a "me and Jesus" mentality where the Church doesn't play a role.

Is it possible to be in relationship with Jesus without being in relationship with his Church?

In this episode, Sr. Nancy (@srnancy), Sr. Danielle (@danielleshabit) and Fr. Harrison (@fr.harrison) discuss what the Church is, how we encounter Jesus through his Church, why the Church is essential for this encounter, and how we live this challenging yet salvific reality.

S3 E4: Adventures in Modernism

The Daughters of St. Paul — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 00:15:00 -0400

Modernism. We hear the word thrown around a lot, but what exactly does it mean?And why is it a problem?

In this episode, Sr. Nancy, Sr. Danielle Victoria and Fr. Harrison Ayre reflect on the pervasiveness of modernist and materialist philosophies in today's culture and the fundamental difference between these mentalities and the Christian worldview.

Discover how Jesus Christ, working in and through his Church, invites us to see and approach material reality in a whole new way—and how this affects even the smallest details of our daily lives.

S3 E3: Participation in Christ

The Daughters of St. Paul — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 00:15:00 -0400

"Jesus literally, really, truly, substantially lives in you through baptism." —Fr. Harrison

Do you know this? Really know it?

We may think of baptism as a rite of passage, a symbolic initiation into a faith community, or a spiritual indwelling of Christ in us. But it's more—much more. In this episode of The Daughters' Project Podcast, Fr. Harrison, Sr. Nancy and Sr. Danielle unpack the mind-blowing reality St. Paul speaks about whenever he uses the phrase "in Christ," and what it means to have Jesus living, working, serving, suffering, dying, and rising in you—no matter where you are or what you're going through.

S3 E2: Mystery and Sacrament (and Harrison Ford?)

The Daughters of St. Paul — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:15:00 -0400

When was the last time you saw something beautiful and, in a moment of awe, simply soaked it in? Are you quiet enough to receive beauty?

In Episode 2, Fr. Harrison, Sr. Nancy and Sr. Aletheia share their experiences of being overcome by beauty and reflect on the power of beauty to open our minds and hearts to God—and how we make room for reflection, beauty, and mystery in our lives.

(We also learn who Fr. Harrison is named after and some of the actors Sr. Nancy has met and continues to pray for as a film critic in LA)

S3 E1: The Sacramental Worldview

The Daughters of St. Paul — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 00:15:00 -0400

What is the sacramental worldview? How do we see past surface appearances to the reality that lies beneath? Is material reality simply what we see, or does it communicate something (or Someone) else to us? Can we relate to God through material reality?

Fr. Harrison Ayre, Sr. Nancy, and Sr. Aletheia unpack these questions and more in Episode 1, Season 3 of The Daughters' Project Podcast. Join us as we explore together what the sacramental worldview is, why it's important, and how it affects our lives.

{Blessed James Alberione. “Prayers of the Pauline Family.”}

This is the prayer the Sisters pray at the end of the episode that was written by our founder, Blessed James Alberione.

“Act of Surrender to the Will of God”

My God, I do not know what will happen to me today. I only know that nothing will happen to me that was not foreseen by you and directed to my greater good from all eternity. This is enough for me. I adore your eternal and unfathomable designs. I submit to them with all my heart for love of you. I offer to you the sacrifice of my whole being and join my sacrifice to that of Jesus, my divine Savior. In his name and by his infinite merits, I ask you for patience in my sufferings and perfect submission, so that everything you want or permit to happen will result in your greater glory and my sanctification. Amen.

Blessed James Alberione

(Prayers of the Pauline Family)
