FORMED Video of the Month for January – St. John Nepomucene

Do you sense that movement in you – that desire to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus? Do you have a longing to follow Jesus more closely, to be transformed by him? Do you notice a stirring inside, a longing to love God with all your heart but feel unsure of what steps to take next?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that God is the one who has put those yearnings in your soul. He has already given you the heart of a disciple. This series simply aims to help you follow those initial promptings of the Holy Spirit so that you may more intentionally encounter Jesus anew each day and be more disposed to the power of his grace molding you, transforming you ever more into his likeness.

Watch this series as Dr. Sri unpacks the steps prompted by the Holy Spirit!

Pope Francis on Advent

Advent,” he said, “is a moment of grace to take off our masks – every one of us has them – and line up with those who are humble, to be freed from our presumption of being self-sufficient, to go to confess our sins (the hidden ones) to welcome God’s pardon, and to ask forgiveness from those whom we have offended. This is how to begin a new life.
