This week, Jake and Bob conclude their series on confession with Fr. John Horn and explore the root system behind two deadly sins: sloth (acedia) and lust. Through personal examples, they uncover the deeper attitudes, fears, and wounds that drive these struggles and keep us from intimacy with God. They also discuss how self- reliance, discouragement, and isolation can distort our desires and lead us away from the freedom God offers us through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Key Points: Virtue grows when our desires are reordered toward God through love rather than fear. Sloth, or acedia, is often misunderstood as just laziness. It can also manifest as overactivity, restlessness, and self-reliance. Discouragement is frequently rooted in the belief that we must transform ourselves without God's help. The remedy for acedia begins with surrendering control and accepting poverty of spirit. Lust reflects a deeper attempt to satisfy desires apart from God. Shame, hopelessness, and a lack of purpose often lie beneath struggles with lust. Confession becomes more fruitful when we bring our underlying attitudes and beliefs rather than only our behaviors. The Sacrament of Reconciliation restores communion with God, ourselves, the Church, and others. Freedom grows as we learn to receive the Father's delight and stop holding our sins and weaknesses against ourselves.

Saints John Fisher, Bishop, Martyr and Thomas More, Martyr (Optional Memorial)
Saturday Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Fr. John Horn, co-founder of the Institute for Priestly Formation, to continue their series on confession. They explore how the sin of pride often hides beneath the surface of our spiritual lives and can even affect the way we approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation itself. Using the parable of the Prodigal Son, they also uncover how fear, shame, and self-reliance can keep us from fully receiving the Father's love. At its core, Confession is an encounter with a Father who rejoices over His children and allowing our hearts to receive this love leads us toward deeper healing and freedom Key Points: Zephaniah's image of God rejoicing and singing over His people reveals the Father's true posture toward repentant sinners. Many of us approach confession assuming God is disappointed in them rather than delighting in their return. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that "whatever is received is received according to the mode of the receiver." Which means, the disposition of our hearts is connected with our ability to receive the Father's love. Self-condemnation and self-hatred can be hidden forms of pride rather than genuine humility. Many deeply rooted patterns of sin become so familiar that we mistake them for normal life instead of areas needing healing. The younger son's demand for his inheritance reflects a desire for God's gifts apart from relationship with God Himself. The younger son's return reveals how shame can continue to operate even after repentance begins. The Father's embrace, kiss, robe, ring, and feast demonstrate God's extravagant response to repentance. The older brother reveals a different form of pride expressed through resentment, self-righteousness, and comparison. Resentment often exposes deeper fears, wounds, and unmet desires hidden beneath the surface. Joy can be difficult to receive when we are attached to self-protection, control, or self-judgment. True healing involves uncovering and renouncing the lies that keep us from trusting God's love. The Holy Spirit restores our original beauty by healing the places where we have rejected ourselves and doubted God's love.

Monday of the Tenth Week in Ordinary Time
Fr. John Jaddou - 3rd Sunday of The Apostles 2026 by Chaldean Diocese
Fr. John Jaddou - Feast of Fr. Ragheed and Companions 2026 by Chaldean Diocese
This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Fr. John Horn, co-founder of the Institute for Priestly Formation, to begin a series on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They discuss the connection between our wounded image of God and sin, revealing how many of our repeated struggles are rooted in lies about our identity in the Father's love. Fr. John also shares how Confession can become more than just listing sins, why we should embrace our interior poverty, and the danger of scrupulosity. Key Points: Unforgiveness is one of the greatest barriers to restoration. Many people remain trapped after confession because they continue holding unforgiveness toward themselves. God does not despise our wounds; He desires to love us directly within them. Much of habitual sin is driven by deeper lies and false beliefs about God, ourselves, and others. Spiritual poverty is the very place that attracts God's mercy. Confession becomes transformative when we examine not only the outward sin, but the beliefs underneath it. Our image of God is often shaped by early relational wounds and experiences with parents or authority figures. God is not reluctantly forgiving us; He rejoices over us and fights for our healing and freedom. Resources: Institute for Priestly Formation Episode 131: Forgiveness and Spiritual Renewal w/ Fr. John Horn "....Not enough that the arrow has been extracted from the body, the wound, which it inflicted, must also be healed. So with regard to the soul. Not enough that the sin has been pardoned. The wound which it left must also be healed."
