Chapel Podcast: The Liturgy of the Hours
We receive an onslaught of words everyday…and we often ask ourselves, “Whose words can I trust?” There is a word that rises above it all … God’s word, made known through Jesus Christ. This word protects us, tells us that there is more than the onslaught of suffering and sorrow our human words tend to showcase. And it is a word we both receive and share with others, sent into the world just as Jesus was sent.
Michael Morris, Green Bouzard, and incoming MDIVX student Stacy Chauvis lead this week’s episode. Listen on the episode page or wherever you get your podcasts.
