A Beautiful Spirituality

[URA]

Greetings, all! Who wants to see some magic?

I'll backpedal a little, since this may be a strange introduction to a thread with this title. What does magic have to do with spirituality?

Well, would you like to hear it from me? Or from a magician priest?

Hopefully you chose the magician priest, because that's who you're going to hear it from right now!

There's a few magic tricks interlaced in that interview; for his fun playlist, check these out!

I just want to open this up to light discussion about the interview & the magic. Plenty of points from his interview could be threads unto themselves, but what I really want to focus on here is the simplicity, adaptability, and genuine beauty of the way he believes in God. There is such a peace around the way he sees his faith & his own role therein...may we all be blessed with such peace in our own lives. He encourages prayers for peace in his sermons, and I think his own life is one of the fruits of this habit.

Oh...and did I mention that I've actually met Fr. Jerome in real life? St. Mary Nativity is a beautiful parish, and Fr. Jerome is just as cool & intelligent IRL (in real life) as he appears in the videos.

Great point.
I’ve been wondering of late, why so many people complicate God with so much added, and unnecessary stuff?

The more I have discovered God the more I see his divine design as being much less complex, and easier to understand his plan for me and for his kingdom.

And it makes sense, God should be easy.

Matthew 18:3
Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Little children don’t understand complex stuff.

I cannot agree with you more!
