(audio + slides)

Summary  Truth of the Spirit episode TOS032 Season of Living Bread. Join Patti Brunner as she welcomes Msgr. David LeSieur in a broadcast of Living Seasons of Change. They discuss the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.  In the Season of Living Bread we find the truth of the Living Word—the sacrifice shared; the nourishment for the journey into the kingdom, and the fullness of the Presence of God.  In John 6: 51 Jesus says, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.”  Jesus gave himself for our life, and for our ongoing nourishment in the form of the Eucharist.  It is through the Eucharist that we too, can receive the same living bread made present at the Last Supper.  This episode discusses the Church’s liturgical scriptural readings from 18-21st Sundays of Ordinary Time Year B which focus on the Gospel of John Chapter 6.

TOS030 Healing Prayer with Lissa Applewhite

TOS030 Healing Prayer with Lissa Applewhite (Part 5) for audio: TOS030: Healing Prayer – Truth of the Spirit (podcast) | Listen Notes

The Sword of the Spirit is part 6 of 7 of the series on the Truth of the Spirit Armor of God.  Ephesians 6:17 says, “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”  During our darkest hours Satan will come to tempt us or torment us and attack us.  He doesn’t stop.  He tempts us to question the Father‘s will for us and his love for us.  He looks for every opportunity to lead us to discouragement and depression and despair.  The lies are overcome by the light of truth in God’s Word and the Sword of the Spirit.
