Today we're talking about what it means for Catholics to discover and cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus. Here are some resources I hope will help you do just that! Thanks once again to my friend Peter Vaughan-Vail for providing the beautiful harp music you'll hear in today's episode.

2. Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion, by Sara Miles

3. The Shack, by William P. Young (also, this movie is beautifully done!)

4. Remember God, by Annie F. Downs

5. Podcast: Another Name for Everything, with Fr. Richard Rohr

6. Podcast: The Eternal Current Podcast, with Aaron Niequist

1. Retreat Experience: Cursillo. So many people experience Jesus for the first time during a weekend retreat called Cursillo. If you live locally to me, ask me more! Our local retreat house is wonderful, but also, there are programs all around the world - just check with your local parish. This weekend with Jesus would be a great gift to give yourself once the world opens up again!
