MVP: Blessed Be God: A Reflection on Loss, Suffering, and God's Will.
Episode 204
Monday, 9 February, 2026

Do you know what makes a great saint? It's not their patience, kindness, or gentleness that are the hallmarks of great saints (I mean, St. Nicholas was punching heretics afterall!). Being united to God's will for your life is the key to being a great saint…and it is the antidote to suffering. Believing in His purpose and plans for you as His beloved daughter is essential to being united to His will and open to what He permits in your life. Accepting His will is crucial for your growth, and the growth of those in your care. And surrendering and uniting your will to His plan and will for you and your family is the key to your ultimate happiness, not only here on earth, but ultimately in heaven as well. Becoming a saint is simple: unite your will to God's will moment by moment. But this is one of the most challenging things in the world to do, because of the pain that sometimes goes along with His daily will for our lives (babies, toddlers, teenagers, husbands who seem to actively work against you) are not things you typically want to accept, surrender, or be united with. And yet, that is the work of becoming a great saint. Every Lent you are being invited to open up to God's will and plan for your life in a deep and profound way. How will you accept that invitation this year? Grab your earbuds and join me for this week's podcast where I re-share my personal testimony of falling in love with God's holy will for my life through tremendous suffering, and the growth that it has yielded ever since: Blessed Be God: A Reflection on Loss, Suffering, and God's Will.
