Is God hiding during the crisis | A Catholic Perspective

Making Catholicism Fun Again! My session for the Smart Catholics Conference Taylor Schroll speaks on the Joy of the Gospel
Pope Francis wrote in Joy of the Gospel, “there are many Christians whose lives seem like Lent without Easter.” Too often, as Catholics, we forget that the Gospel message truly is good news! The power of the Resurrection is offered to us by Jesus. The good news should permeate our lives so we can be radiant in joy and share that with the world.

We're all stuck at home quarantining, so instead of traveling the country to speak, I'm traveling to my living room every week to share a “Living Room Retreat” with you.
This week’s session is about one of the biggest struggles we all have in our faith: complacency. We know what we should do but for whatever reason we can't bring ourselves to do it. How do we get over the hump? We will look to the story of the Rich Young Man for an answer.

Pray the Stations of the Cross with us
A typical Catholic tradition during Lent is to pray through the stations of the cross at the parish on Friday afternoons. For those times we can't do that(looking at you Coronavirus), Taylor and Fr. Anthony wanted to pray with you digitally.
