TOS048 Come to the Water-Fr. Philip Scott Part V 

For audio TOS048: Come to the Water Part V – Truth of the Spirit (podcast) | Listen Notes

Join Patti Brunner and Truth of the Spirit for audio of Part 5 of the retreat given by Fr. Phillip Scott in Arkansas at Subiaco Coury House Retreat Center. In this portion of “Come to the Water”, Fr. Philip Scott’s focus is on Blessed Mother Mary and her motherhood, the help of saints, and benefits of adoration. 

Fr. Philip Scott shares that we are given Blessed Mother Mary as our mother because we need God’s love in a maternal way.  When there are problems at home, the children are not noticed.  The Lord and Mary will notice us in the adoration chapel.  They look at us.  To mother others, you have to be mothered.  Our Lady wants to especially be the mother in your mothering. Ask Blessed Mother Mary to mother you.  The power of God will come in our admission of weakness.  The Saints have chosen us.  Fr. Philip Scott says to look at feast days of the saints on the important dates of your life to see which saints have chosen you.   Let the saints become your extended family.  God is lifting the veil to receive the assistance from heaven with or without merit.

Fr. Philip Scott highly recommends adoration, at least an hour a day for retired people.  Fr. Philip spends three to four hours a day in adoration.   Our senses are being overwhelmed by noise that dulls us and makes us lose our desire for silence.  Jesus stands at the door and knocks.  He is waiting for us.  Jesus wants to prepare us in adoration to face difficult situations.  The pain in our joints is one of the gifts we are given to tame this world.  “Long-suffering” is usually a preparation for a great grace.
