Slaking Thirsts

Slaking Thirsts is a podcast for those whose hearts ache, pine, hunger and thirst for more. With his dying breath, Jesus looked upon humanity and said, "I thirst." He thirsts that we would thirst for Him, and He is our thirst quenched. This podcast is meant to bring these two great thirsts into conversation, that thirsts would be slaked by love, intimacy, vulnerability and friendship with the LORD.

This Scripture Becomes Reality At Your Baptism

This episode delves into Paul's teaching on the "spirit of adoption," clarifying its profound meaning within the context of ancient Roman law, where adopted children held an unshakeable, permanent status. Father Patrick highlights that this scripture becomes a reality at our baptism, granting us an identity as sons and daughters whom God will never abandon. The homily encourages listeners to confront any "orphan spirit" that fosters fear or feelings of unworthiness, reminding them of their secure, unchangeable belonging in Christ, much like the prodigal son's true standing.
