As the Church enters the most sacred days of the liturgical year, Stina and Padre reflect on the meaning of the Triduum and how Christians can approach it with intentional hearts. Beginning with Holy Thursday and moving through Good Friday to Holy Saturday, they explore three spiritual postures that help us walk closely with Christ: receptivity, compassion, and waiting. This episode invites listeners to enter the mystery of Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection not as distant observers, but as participants united with Him.

In the first episode of the new season, Stina and Padre reflect on one of the most powerful moments in salvation history: Mary’s “yes” at the Annunciation. After catching up on what’s been happening during the break—from parish missions to formation programs—they explore what makes Mary’s response so extraordinary. Was she truly free to say no? What does her response teach us about grace, freedom, and trusting God’s call in our own lives? This episode invites listeners to rediscover the beauty of Mary’s fiat and the courage it takes to say “yes” to God.
