40 Days: Diving into the Depths of Lent
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
Episode Summary
Welcome to the Holy Hot Mess podcast, where host Heather takes you on a journey into the heart of Lent, exploring its significance, traditions, and the profound impact it can have on our spiritual lives and why the Lord through the Church requires us to enter into this season.
In this episode, Heather unravels the holy essence of Lent, also known as Quadragesima in Latin, translating to 'Fortieth.' It's a 40-day period of preparation leading up to Easter, excluding Sundays, dedicated to reflecting on the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection. Heather delves into the biblical significance of the number 40, linking it to testing, trial, penance, purification, and renewal, drawing parallels to Jesus' 40 days in the desert.
Lent calls believers to embrace three core tenets: prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. Heather emphasizes the importance of understanding these practices, highlighting that fasting is not merely abstaining from a sin but a penitential exercise acknowledging our sins and seeking God's mercy. She recommends the book "Deliverance Prayers for the Laity" for a thorough examination of conscience.
The episode explores the concept of penance, clarifying that after a valid confession, believers are called to make reparations for the harm their sins caused. During Lent, sacrifices are made not only for personal penance but also for families, the Church, humanity, and the world.
Heather breaks down the requirements of fasting and abstinence, offering insights into who is obligated to participate and what these practices entail. Sundays, being solemnities, are exempt from fasting and abstinence, but Heather shares her family tradition of maintaining a sense of moderation on Sundays.
To round off the episode, Heather provides a diverse list of ideas for things to give up during Lent, ranging from material habits to personal behaviors. She also suggests positive practices to adopt, such as praying the rosary, engaging in daily masses, or embarking on a Lenten bible study or spiritual reading.
Join Heather on this introspective solo episode of the Holy Hot Mess podcast, as she guides you through the why and how of Lent, offering practical insights to enrich your spiritual journey.

Submission in Real Life & Bethel Church Conversion Stories with Felisha
In this episode of the Holy Hot Mess Podcast, host Heather interviews Felicia Morisette, exploring her unique journey from being a lukewarm Catholic to a worship leader at Bethel Church and eventually returning to the traditional Catholic faith. The conversation delves into the impact of a YouTube video by Fr. Chad on the Rightly Ordered Family, discussing the importance of biblical principles and roles in family life.
Heather and Felicia also share their personal experiences with biblical submission, emphasizing that it's not about inferiority or being a doormat but rather embracing God-given roles within marriage. They highlight the freedom and strength found in surrendering control, allowing their husbands to step into their roles confidently. The episode encourages listeners to approach these concepts with an open heart, trust in God's design, and embrace the beauty of biblical principles in their own faith and family journeys.

Thursday Jan 04, 2024
In this episode, Heather gets real about the struggles and benefits of creating a Rule of Life as a Catholic wife and mom. Just a woman just trying to keep it together, not doing too much,
She's diving into the nitty-gritty of the book "A Mother's Rule of Life," giving it both a high-five and bit of a side-eye. But don't worry - this isn't your typical book club rant; it's a genuine conversation about what has worked, what didn't, and how you can tailor the wisdom given in this book it to fit your beautifully messy life.
Heather spills the beans on her own journey to try to bring some order into the chaos, sharing practical advice on how to properly prioritize your life regarding these 5 areas: prayer, person, partner, parent, and provider—all without losing your sanity, doing too much, or burning out.
Get ready for some honest-to-goodness insights on instilling a bit of discipline into your life. It's not about doing more than the good Lord wants you to but finding that sweet spot where you're getting things done and still leaving room for what matters most - family, connection, prayer and rest.
So, if you're a fellow Holy Hot Mess Catholic Woman looking to bring a dash of order and a sprinkle of grace into your life, join Heather for some laughs, a few "aha" moments, and a whole lot of authenticity. You're not alone in this journey—let's tackle the chaos together!

In this episode of the Holy Hot Mess Podcast, your host, Heather, delves into a profound exploration of the choice we have when faced with suffering.

Throughout the episode, Heather shares personal insights and stories, weaving a narrative that inspires listeners to reflect on their own relationship with suffering. The message is clear: the choice to embrace the cross and suffer well can lead to a deeper connection with the Our Creator, bringing about a sense of purpose which makes the suffering more tolerable to endure.
