"Holy" Does Not Mean "Perfect" (with Sr. Miriam James, SOLT)

Holiness is not something we can achieve on our own—is it a grace we ask of God, and he promises that he will grant it to us. But often, the first step is acknowledging your weaknesses, accepting their existence, and handing them to God in total surrender. Fr. Mike and Sr. Miriam explore that journey in this clip from Fr. Mike's conversation w/ Sr. Miriam about Advent, healing, and forgiveness. Experience the entire conversation: https://youtu.be/euOy4JuzC3Y Want to go deeper this Advent? Join Fr. Mike Schmitz in a journey through the daily readings as he confronts our doubts and reveals God's love with Ascension-app-exclusive daily video reflections and scripture passages: https://link.ascension-app.com/caouRw13GNb Too often, we live life by "default". We forget that we are on a journey to an eternal destination of joy that we were made for. We are burdened by fears and questions: what if I am not worthy? What if I am not enough? Live Advent differently this year. Prepare to meet God, face to face.
