Lent Series EP 1: The Power of Your Thoughts

The Let Love podcast explores the theme of thoughts during the Lenten season, emphasizing the power and dignity of human rational thought. The hosts share a community experience of watching "Lord of the Rings" and how the epic story can be transformative for one's thoughts, especially during challenging times. They highlight the importance of wondering and reflection, drawing from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd's approach to children's questions. The discussion also covers the need to protect time for thinking in a culture of constant information and action, as well as strategies for managing overwhelming thoughts, such as directing them towards others through acts of kindness. Stories of Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Edgar are shared to illustrate the freedom to choose one's thoughts even in extreme circumstances.
