Lord give me faith. I'm sorry for doubting you. I'm sorry that sometimes I'm skeptical, sometimes even to the degree of that of the Pharisees. Change my heart. I want to believe.

How Fr. Josh explained this in a very millennial way is awesome! I usually see speakers of God to be very solemn and calm which sometimes, students in my generation may find a little bit boring. but of how Fr. Josh delivered his content is very fun and cool. I could listen to him all day long. <3 definitely worth sharing to teens like me.

Lectio Divina along with the Holy Rosary and Jesus Prayer form the basis of my life of prayer and meditation. Thanks for this explanation Father, God bless!

[etienne-victordepasquale]

That's one great insight, Fr Josh. It hadn't struck me that this passage leads me to consult Jesus before going out to serve.
