Catholics are known for it, we often experience it, and let's be real we don't love it… it's Catholic guilt. This week we specifically hone in on the reality of guilt during Lent and the lack of mercy we have with ourselves during this liturgical season. Let's call it like it is and chat through it because it's about time we start accepting God's mercy. Tan Books: Use code DAILY25 for 25% your order at tanbooks.com, follow @tan_books on Instagram, and be sure to check out this great book: https://tanbooks.com/confessions-of-st-augustine-of-hippoAbundantly Yours: Use Code "DAILYNOTHINGS" for 20% off at abundantlyyours.org; Follow at @abundantly.yours and @abundantly.yours.co on Instagram Support our podcast AND receive extra content by joining our Patreon for only $5 a month at https://www.patreon.com/TheDailyNothingsPodcast Thanks for listening to The Daily Nothings Podcast!
