For the 5th Sunday of Lent, Fr. Erik Arnold shows us how we battle with feelings and faith, and that Jesus encourages us to let our faith lead us.
We battle between these two things, faith and feelings, and very often in the middle of that battle, as we’re wrestling with it in daily life, we can let our feelings win out. And if we’re really sad or if we’re really upset, or if we’re filled with joy and on top of the world, all of our feelings very often can direct the way that we act.
Our feelings often get in the driver’s seat and they take us where they want to go. But Jesus says to Martha and to us, “I know you have all of these feelings, but let your faith lead you.”

Our 5-Day Challenge can help parents create a family culture that leads to faith. In addition to video and written content for parents, your family will also get a new video to watch together each day of the challenge. Short and accessible, these will help each of you to think, pray, and talk more about Jesus and His Church… together. And the best part is, it’s free.
