An Invitation to Rest in Him

Episode 81: "Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you" (1 Kings 19:7).

Christmas is coming! In this episode, author and host Julia Monnin encourages listeners to pay particularly close attention to the invitations the Lord sends this Advent to REST IN HIM as we prepare our hearts to welcome our newborn King. Julia opens this show by reflecting on some words from St. Teresa of Avila (below) and closes it by reading Reflection #232, "A Moment to Rest" from her book "The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume II, My Trials and Tribulations."

“If our nature or health doesn’t allow us to think always about the Passion, since to do so would be arduous, who will prevent us from being with Him in His risen state? We have Him so near in the Blessed Sacrament, where He is already glorified and where we don’t have to gaze upon Him as being so tired and worn out, bleeding, wearied by His journeys, persecuted by those for whom He did so much good . . . Certainly there is no one who can endure thinking all the time about the many trials He suffered. Behold Him here without suffering, full of glory . . . our companion in the most Blessed Sacrament.” – St. Teresa of Avila, The Book of Her Life (Chapter 22, 6)
