PODCAST: Divine Intimacy #114, "The Hidden Life"

A reading from the book by Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.

This episode is imploring us to lead a “hidden life” like Jesus did, a life under the radar, so to speak. That includes not seeking any human praise, but doing everything we do for God’s glory.

Personally, I’m terrible at this. The other day, I was at the grocery store and out of the spur of the moment, bought a bunch of orange roses and handed them to an old lady. I felt really good for about five minutes… until I went to McDonald’s and blabbed about it to the cashier (who looked like she couldn’t have cared less).

Defeatedly returning with my BigMac to my table, I thought, “I could have pleased God by doing this, if I had only kept my mouth shut.” Much to learn, VatiGod, much to learn.
