This Lent, you don’t have to wait until you feel ready, strong, or spiritual enough. God is ready to meet you right where you are. 

In this conversation, Fr. Columba Jordan and Fr. Mike Schmitz talk about what God is really asking us for–an offering of whatever we have to give right now. 

From prayer and fasting to exercise, they explore why the spiritual life can never be separated from the physical. Reflecting on ordinary actions, like a short walk or a simple fast, they reveal that anything can become an act of worship when offered with love.
