The Beatitudes, Shadow, and The Kingdom - February 1, 2026

4th Sunday in Extra-ordinary Time. Our question: What is a shadowy reaction in me that might come up when I do "good works?"

We talk about St. Augustine's thoughts on the Beatitudes and quote this post. Another beautiful essay on this is -- St. Augustine on the Esoteric Meaning of the Beatitudes.

THANK YOU to our listener, Jackie ,who designed our new logo. We love it!
