Join Sofia in praying the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, guided by reflections from Father Luigi Giussani.

Please know of our prayers for you—and please pray for Giuli (and baby Luke) and Adrianna (and baby Cecilia) during their maternity leave!

You can find the other set of mysteries here:

• Glorious Mysteries
• Sorrowful Mysteries
• Joyful Mysteries

Join Giuli, Sofi and Adrianna for a conversation about identity. How is the identity of a Christian both a gift and a task? What falsehoods about identity tempt us away from this reality? Which experiences and relationships have built and revealed our identity to us? //

Our media recommendation is Mike Posner’s song “I Went Back to Ibiza”, with his prior song “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” for context. And our monthly challenge is to reflect, at the start or end of your day, on your encounters and actions, asking the question: “What does this have to do with my identity?” //

Our theme music is Nich Lampson’s “Dolphin Kicks.”

Adrianna, Sofi, and Giuli have a conversation about failure. How do we, shaped by our modern culture, often face failure reductively? How does God respond to human failure? Is it possible for failures (ours and those of others) to be places of encounter with Christ? What helps us live with the posture of a beggar? //

Our media recommendation is Rembrandt’s painting The Return of the Prodigal Son. And our monthly challenge is to pray with Habbakuk 3:17-18. //
