S01 Ep. 55 – Trusting in God’s Call to Holiness

Given that the universal call to holiness can be sometimes intimidating when we’re somewhat unclear about God’s expectations, Fr. Eric expounds upon the Parable of the Talents (Mt 25:14-30) to clarify that God’s expectations for our lives are actually quite reasonable.  Topics discussed include how we are called to make something of ourselves given the gratuitous gift of the crucified Christ; and the importance of trusting that the grace that God has given us to become the persons He is calling us to be is stronger than our weaknesses, frailties and sins.

Fr. Eric also speaks about how the Lord’s expectations for our lives correspond directly to what He has given to us, but also what He has not; the Lord’s invitation to live fruitful and generative lives; and the necessity to share in God’s salvific mission as an important prerequisite to sharing in His joy.
