Manage episode 278979037 series 2663799
Dr. Gerry discusses the Sunday readings from a psychological and family-oriented perspective. Dr. Gerry meets with Mac Barron who is the author of “Clueless in Galilee” and co-host of the long running “Catholic in a Small Town” podcast. Dr. Gerry and Mac discuss their reaction to the commercialization and consumerism of Christmas and the loss of the true spirit of the Advent season. They discuss how a family can make Advent more meaningful and doable.
“Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss.” Psalm 85
Dr. Gerry and Mac discuss remaining joyful and being intentional, penitential, and reverential this Advent season. Dr. Gerry explores the parts of us that do not want to be repentant, and how to address our parts that need self-soothing. Dr. Gerry brings up attending to our pain during the holiday season rather than escaping with problem behaviors. Attending to our own pain can help us to be truly repentant and relate better with our loved ones.
“Conduct[ing] yourselves in holiness and devotion, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God” 2 Peter
