God is Love. “Let Love” is about giving God permission in your life, letting go, and receiving the Love that frees you to live in the truth of who you are. In the Let Love podcast, join the Sisters of Life (www.sistersoflife.org) for conversations looking at life through the lens of love. You are loved. You are made in God’s image, and your life matters. Let’s talk about it.

Fr. Mike Schmitz reads and explains The Imitation of Christ
The Rosary is meant to be a living journey of prayer that helps Catholics weave key moments of Jesus’ and Mary’s lives into each moment of our own lives. However, the reality of the unending demands of daily life can leave us with little time, energy, or attention to find our way along this path. How do we get there? In The Way of the Rosary Novena, Shannon Wendt and eight Catholic speakers, including Katie McGrady, Fr. Malachy Joseph Napier CFR, and Jason Shanks, lead us in prayer and discuss the beauty of the mysteries of the Rosary. For nine days, we begin the Rosary together, and Shannon invites us to then find the quiet moments throughout our busy days to pray the other decades, or even one Hail Mary at a time, interweaving the story of Jesus and Mary into our daily lives. Pray the first decade now, then carry the mystery with you today.
This Advent, join Fr. Mike Schmitz as he challenges us to not just wait for Christ's coming, but to wait well. Advent is a busy season, filled with hustle and bustle as Christmas approaches. We are often consumed with so much to do that we forget to wait well. Similarly, we all encounter seasons of waiting in life: waiting for the next celebration, the next milestone, the next step on our journey. Yet these moments of waiting are not wasted. Instead, God is speaking to us in every present moment, giving us opportunities to grow closer to him. Fr. Mike calls us to embrace this season of waiting in Advent as a model for our lives: trusting in God's timing and seeking him in the present moment as we learn to wait well.
If the deepest secret of God is that God is love, and he made you in his image and likeness, then what's the deepest secret about you? You are made for love. What does it mean to be human? What was God’s original plan for humanity? For relationships? For marriage? For sex? Why is the body important? In four lessons, Fr. Mike leans into the teachings of St. John Paul II and Christopher West, unpacking the mysteries of the human heart, the human body, and relationships.
