This is the sixth episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over part 3 of the book. Part 3 is a robust summary of everything from the book using the quotes of saints. Saints are great models for us as we try to grow in holiness. Being just regular people like us, we can relate to their struggles and learn tactics and thought patterns from them that help us as we grow in virtue and fall further in love with God. Use these quotes to help remind you of some of the things we have learned through this book, and if there is a particular saint that stands out to you from these quotes, take that as an invitation to get to know that saint more and ask for their intercession. Just like you might ask a friend to pray for an intention, you can ask a saint! As we know from James 5:16, "The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful."Episode schedule:January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18February 25th - pt. 3Discussion Questions: How was your week? Was there anything from last week's discussion that stayed with you throughout the week? Share one saint quote that was especially meaningful to you.  Is there a saint whose writing style/thoughts particularly stand out to you? Maybe this is your invitation to get to know that saint more! As you look back at this entire book, what is one thing that stands out to you? How can you continue to remember this message? As Katie reminds us, you cannot give true peace if you don't have it yourself. Who in your life needs peace right now? Are there any ideas from this book that can help you be a peaceful presence in their life? When hearing the story of Martha and Mary, who do you relate to more? Is it possible to maintain a spirit of peace, even when you have a lot of tasks to complete? Read 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. What does it mean to "boast" of our weaknesses, and how can it bring us closer to God? Pg. 106 - 107 speaks on living in the present moment. Take a moment to pray for God to relinquish you from regrets of the past and from fears of the future. Pray for each person present that God may claim their soul for Himself and enliven each moment of their days.

This is the fifth episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over chapters 13-18 in part 2 of the book. This section of part two deals mainly with how we respond after our own failures and faults. Fr. Jacques encourages us to not get too down on ourselves, but rather to try to come back to a peaceful state as quickly as possible. We cannot "fix" ourselves so that we will never fail, but God can certainly grow and heal us so that we may fall less frequently, but we remember that ALL of God's work is done in PEACE. Thus, returning to peace is the best way to truly rid ourselves of our vices and temptations toward sin. This section also guides us on how to make decisions. If you would like more detailed help in this area, check out the series I did on decision-making in November, 2022. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-better-part-intentional-living-for-christian-moms/id1481909779?i=1000584622291Join us next week for episode 6, where we will discuss part 3..Episode schedule:January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18February 25th - pt. 3Discussion Questions: How was your week? Was there anything from last week's discussion that stayed with you throughout the week? Share one quote from this section that was especially meaningful to you.  Is there a particular area that you often find yourself lacking grace, patience, or peace? When you find yourself failing in a familiar way, do you lean more toward being too easy or too hard on yourself? Read over the prayer that is in quotation marks on pg. 58. Which part of that prayer stands out most to you? Ch. 14 argues that our own sins and failures can sometimes lead us to a good. Have you experienced this in your life? Maybe a personality that is both a weakness and a strength? Or a bad situation that led to something good happening? The book argues that spiritual progress isn't necessarily learning to never fail, but being able to return to peace quickly after each failure. Is there something in your life lately that removes you from peace for longer than you'd like? Do you have a go-to person from whom you always ask for advice when you are making a big decision? Who is it and why? Pg. 74 says it is normal to not always have a clear answer from God when making decisions. Share a time when God's will has been clear in your decision making or share a time when it has not.  What decisions are you dealing with right now?

Have you had an issue finding and maintaining peace in your heart and mind recently? Do you find it difficult to fall asleep once you close your eyes and lay your head down on your pillow at night? God is the one that you can go to for peace.Do you trust God for peace.

This is the fourth episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over chapters 7-12 in part 2 of the book. Part 2 details reasons why we lose our peace and how we can combat those reasons. We discuss how comparison is at odds with our peace as we inevitably focus on our lacking. We are reminded that God will never leave us without what is necessary for our salvation and that we can trust in His providence always. We also consider how those in our lives affect our own lives and how that can interfere with peace. When someone around us suffers, God helps us to respond with TRUE compassion and with patience for any imperfections we find in others. Join us next week for episode 3, where we will discuss part 2, chapters 13-18.Episode schedule:January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18February 25th - pt. 3Discussion Questions:How was your week? Was there anything from last week's discussion that stayed with you throughout the week?Share one quote from this section that was especially meaningful to you. What role do you find comparison playing in your peace? Are you more likely to compare yourself to others or to another version of you (your past self, or who you hoped to be)?Does social media affect your peace in a positive or a negative way? Where has something negative in your life brought out something good?As mothers, we can often take on the sufferings of others and feel them as our own. Share about a time when the suffering of a loved one has made you lose your peace. How did God work through that time?Can you remember a time of your own suffering when someone showed you true compassion? Share about what they did and how it affected you.On pg. 55, Fr. Jacques says, God “puts up with [an imperfect person] as he is! He waits, with patience… I must do likewise. I must pray and be patient. Why be more demanding and impatient than God?” Is there anyone in your life who tests your patience? How can you see them more from God's perspective?

This is the third episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over chapters 1-6 in part 2 of the book. Part 2 details reasons why we lose our peace and how we can combat those reasons. We find that the desire for control is often at complete odds with our peace and that trusting God is key. That trust is naturally developed as we develop a relationship with Jesus and get to know Him as a real person. We share ways that our relationships with Jesus have brought us peace as mothers and how the distractions of this world never bring us closer to who we want to be. Though there will be suffering in this world, God promises us that He will never leave us without that which we truly need! Join us next week for episode 3, where we will discuss part 2, chapters 7-12. Episode schedule: January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3 January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7 February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6 February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12 February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18 February 25th - pt. 3 Discussion Questions: 1. How was your week? Was there anything from last week's discussion that stayed with you throughout the week? 2. Share one quote from this section that was especially meaningful to you.  3. On pg. 26, Fr. Jacques proposes that “our great drama is this. That man does not have confidence in God.” Can you remember a time in your life that you questioned whether God would take care of you? How did you handle it? 4. Is there anything you find yourself grasping for control of that is disturbing your peace?  5. Have you experienced the peace in front of the Blessed Sacrament that Fr. Jacques Philippe describes on pg. 34-35? How does adoration change your prayer? If you have ever done a regular holy hour, what do you do during that time? 6. St. Therese of Lisieux says, that “God does not permit unnecessary suffering.” What is your gut response to that phrase? Have you ever seen suffering that has brought good? Is it possible for all suffering to bring about good? (For further discussion or prayer on this, consider Isaiah 55:8-9, Romans 8:28, and Romans 8:18) 7. Ch. 6 is titled, “God Asks for Everything, but He Doesn't Necessarily Take Everything.” What do you find yourself holding back from God for fear that He will take it away? (e.g. your time, finances, health, plans for the future, hopes for your children, a problem of a loved one) For further thought… When the angel Gabriel announced to Zechariah that his wife was going to become pregnant with John the Baptist (Luke 1:5-25), he responded with, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” This response doesn't read all that different than Mary's, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” (Luke 1:34). Why do you think Gabriel responded so differently to Mary than to Zechariah?

This is the second episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over chapters 4-7 in part 1 of the book. This section speaks further into what it means to be in a spiritual battle, which often centers around our peace. Katie shares how even when Jesus was providing extraordinary peace in her difficult circumstances, she still felt attacks on peace. Though we are in the midst of battle, we remember that the war has already been won by Jesus Christ and we have nothing to fear. When the evil one tries to draw us into battle him ourselves, God draws us near to Him and reminds us that He can and will take care of us if we allow Him. Though God is always guiding and convicting us to grow in holiness, we know that He never pushes us in shame or out of anger. He gently reminds and restores us so that we can live in peace. Join us next week for episode 3, where we will discuss part 2, chapters 1-6. Episode schedule: January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3 January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7 February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6 February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12 February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18 February 25th - pt. 3 Discussion Questions: 1. How was your week? Was there anything from last week's discussion that stayed with you throughout the week? 2. Share one quote from this section that was especially meaningful to you.  3. On pg. 16, Fr. Jacques states that a “necessary for interior peace is what we might call goodwill.” How would you describe the goodwill he is talking about here? 4. Ch. 3-5 focus on spiritual combat. Is this something that you have heard of before? How does it make you feel?  5. Too often we find ourselves at either end of the spectrum when it comes to spiritual warfare. Either completely aloof and unaware of the spiritual battle that is happening or overly fixated on where our inclinations come from and discerning what in our lives is coming from the devil or God. Where do you find yourself on this spectrum?  6. The devil often attacks our peace. Where have you seen these attacks in your own life? (Agitation and worries about the future? Discouragement about your own failings? Frustrations with others? Despair when comparing yourself to others? Another way?) 7. God wants to give us peace that far surpasses what the world can offer us. Have you ever experienced a time when you were given peace in a surprising situation? Or in the midst of a hard decision? Could that have been God at work in you?

This is the first episode of a six part book study over "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. I am joined by Katie Novitsky and Stefani Blackwell, and we go over the preface along with chapters 1-3 in pt. 1 of the book. We discuss how peace is essential if we want to serve and love others--namely, our families. This peace, as Fr. Jacques Philippe asserts, can only be found through Jesus Christ. Jesus, who knows us and loves us, will never abandon us to our anxieties, but if we come to Him and give our lives to Him, He will grant us never-ending peace. Join us next week for episode 2, where we will discuss part 1, chapters 4-7. Episode schedule: January 21st - preface, pt 1: ch 1-3 January 28th - pt. 1: ch 4-7 February 4th - pt. 2, ch 1-6 February 11th - pt. 2, ch 7-12 February 18th - pt. 2, ch 13-18 February 25th - pt. 3 Discussion Questions: 1. Coming into this book study, where in your life do you currently see peace? Where are you desiring more peace? 2. Share one quote from this section that was especially meaningful to you. 3. On pg. 8, Fr. Jacques tells about Saint Seraphin of Sarov, who brought multitudes toward him because of his peacefulness. Who in your life is an example of that same magnetic peacefulness? 4. Jesus says, “Without me you can do nothing.” How does that make you feel (cared for, powerless, defensive, empowered, etc.) and why do you think that is? 5. On pg. 6, it says that maintaining peace is “not an invitation to laziness and inaction,” but to act “under the impulse of the Holy Spirit… and not in a spirit of disquietude, agitation, or excessive hurry.” Describe a time when you've seen yourself act in either of these ways. 5. Ch. 3 reminds us that our life will be a “constant and sometimes painful battle” against temptation and sin. How can someone remain in peace if that is the truth? 6. Reflect on Hebrews 12:4-13. How does our negative view of discipline point to a “worldly” perspective? How can we shift our view to be more “heavenly” so that we may view discipline as a form of love?

Join us for the final episode in the peace series! Stephanie Clarisse is the former host of this podcast back when it was called 500 Seconds to Joy, and she is an absolute JOY to talk to! I'm so grateful she came on to share what God has been teaching her as she focuses on peace this year. A verse that perfectly encapsulates this series is Isaiah 26:2, "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you." Stephanie shares how this verse has encouraged her to keep up her daily prayer and to keep Jesus at the forefront of her brain throughout the day. When we can keep our minds on God and trust in Him, we can be steady even though tough times. When we try to create peace by controlling our circumstances or by allowing ourselves to follow any whim that comes, we can simulate peace, but God is the only one who can provide TRUE peace. Stephanie also shares a couple of quotes from the book Searching for and Maintaining Peace by Fr. Jacques Philippe. This book will be the focus of a book study I will be hosting with two other ladies in January! I hope you join us so that we can continue to grow toward God together!

Patrick shared some incredible insights on how smartphone addiction and social media impact our lives, and recommended Father Jacques Philippe's book, "Searching for and Maintaining Peace." This gem offers profound guidance on finding inner tranquility by turning everything over to God. Remember, apart from Him, we can do nothing.

In this episode of the Shed and Shine podcast, Gino Wickman explores how to achieve peace, joy, love, fulfillment, and bliss through a three-part awareness exercise. He shares his favorite practices for staying calm, such as embracing stillness, silence, and letting go of unnecessary burdens. Gino encourages listeners to find their own paths to peace, highlighting the importance of being present and aware. He provides practical examples, like engaging in deep conversations and taking "clarity breaks" to foster tranquility and creativity. Gino also discusses common obstacles to peace, such as having too many expectations, rushing through life, and trying to control everything. By letting go of control and eliminating non-essential tasks, we can enhance our inner calm.

When life is hard (or even when it is not!), it can be hard for me to find something to pray about when I sit down to pray. It helps me to have some set piece of content that I'm going through that serves as inspiration for my prayer. Right now, I'm going through the Catechism in a Year podcast, but here are some other ideas for you if you are looking for some good spiritual reading/listening: The Bible (The best! Try going through Psalms, a gospel, or one of the epistles) Bible in a Year, Catechism in a Year, Pray as You Go, or other devotional podcasts C.S. Lewis books (some of these are dense enough that you really only need to read a sentence or two and you have enough to ponder) Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales Tim Keller books (Christian, not Catholic) Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence Fr. Jacque Philippe books (Interior Freedom and Searching for and Maintaining Peace are both awesome starters) Be Healed and Be Transformed by Bob Schuchts (these are good for investigating wounds and bringing them to God) Any book written by a saint!

For May, we're diving into Searching for and Maintaining Peace by Fr. Jacques Phillipe.  It is that the Christian lif eis a combat, a ware without mercy.  It must be viewed as the scene of constant and sometimes painful battle, which will not end until death - a struggle against evil, temptation and the sin that is in him.  It is the combat of one who struglges with the absolute certitude that the victory is already won, because the Lord is ressurected. The believer, throughout the entire battle, whatever the degree of violence, will strive to maintain peace of heart in order to allow the God of Armies to fight for him. Additionally, he must realize that this interior peace is not only a condition for spiritual combat, but is quite often the goal itself. Very frequently, spirtual combat consists pecisely in this: defenidng one's peace of heart against the enemy who attempts to steal it from us. The devil does his utmost to banish peace from one's heart, because he knwos that God abides in peace and it si in peace that He accmoplishes great things.  It is well to keep this in mind, because, quite often in the daily unfolding of our Christian life it happens that we fight the wrong battle.  We fight on terrain where the devil subtly drag us and can vanquish us, instead of fighting on the real battlefield, where, onthe contrary, by the grace of God, we are always certain of victory.
