They Will See God
The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal
Episode 272 - They Will See God What if seeing God isn’t about trying harder, but desiring Him more simply? For this week, the friars turn to the Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God.” In this episode, they explore what purity of heart really means, not moral perfection, but a heart that looks to Jesus without distraction, without divided desires, without constantly turning back toward the world. They talk about intimacy with God, the battle against distraction, how sin clouds our vision, and how purity isn’t about hating yourself but forgetting yourself so...

Fire, Desire, Theosis
The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal
Episode 271 - Fire, Desire, Theosis What do you really hunger and thirst for? As the friars continue through the Franciscan Lent, they dive deep into the Beatitude: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” This conversation is about holy desire, the kind that burns, refines, and draws us closer to God Himself. They unpack what it means to let go of lesser hungers, to purify our desires, and to rediscover the fire that leads to union with God. From St. Francis’ radical poverty to our own longing for holiness, the friars remind us that this...

Franciscan Lent
The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal
Episode 270 - Franciscan Lent After a season of Jubilee rest, the friars return with fresh hearts and a new invitation: to enter the “Franciscan Lent”, a hidden season of simplicity, detachment, and joyful expectation. Drawing from the life of St. Francis and the Beatitudes, they explore what it really means to become small, to depend completely on God, and to let Him provide what we cannot. This episode isn’t about doing more, it’s about letting go, trusting deeply, and rediscovering the joy that comes from poverty of spirit. The Poco a Poco podcast happens because of many generous...

info_outlineEpisode 260 - Jubilee and Christ the High Priest - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 9)
What if your true identity is more sacred than you ever imagined?
Jesus is the High Priest, the one mediator who intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father, offering not just prayers but our wounds, our brokenness, and all of humanity's sins back to God. As His followers, we are invited to imitate and be conformed to this sacred role—offering spiritual sacrifices and living lives marked by worship, intercession, and transformation.
In this episode, we dive deep into our priestly identity—a calling not reserved for a few, but extended to all who follow Christ. We explore what it means to be guardians of worship, to beautify the liturgy, and to walk with a priestly heart, especially as we enter into the profound moments of Holy Week.
Join us in this episode as we talk about the characteristics of a priestly heart and how, through Jesus, we are called to reclaim our identity, not just as believers, but as guardians of what is holy.
