Our tendency is to rebel when God asks something of us that is contrary to our plans. It could be a heavy cross we don’t feel we’re strong enough to bear, a sacrifice that we think is just too big to make, or loss of control in our own lives or in the life of someone who is important to us. This inner rebellion can sometimes take the form of conflict, confusion, grief, helplessness, or even hopelessness, and it causes disquiet within us as we struggle to grapple with God’s will. Perhaps there’s something you’re struggling with right now. How do you make God the Lord of your disquiet? In this episode of Simply Holy, Who is Lord of Your Disquiet?,” Marge examines the essence of disquiet, the example of St. Ignatius and our Mother Mary, and offers concrete steps for allowing God to be Lord of any disquiet you experience.

Hi Marge,
I truly found this podcast inspiring and helpful to me, especially with some “disquiets” that I’m experiencing at this time. When I heard about St. Ignatius, I immediately thought of Fr. Kentenich who you later referred to. Thanks for sharing this and God bless you! Nos cum prole pia…Benedicat Virgo Maria!
