Do Something Beautiful
People are good. You might not think that if you listen to traditional news, but that's a lie. Everyday heroes and saints live among us and my goal is to introduce them to you.We are inspired by the words of Mother Teresa, "Do something beautiful for God. Do it with your life. Do it every day. Do it in your own way. But do it!” Leah Darrow, former model and contestant on America's Next Top Model, draws on her experience in the beauty industry to expose the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance and instead invites us to look again at the real meaning of beauty in service to mankind.
Do Something Beautiful
79: Learning to Say "I Need God" (with Fr. Michael O'Loughlin)
Leah gets Fr. Michael O'Loughlin to explain what asceticism even is anyway, and why it's not just for seasons like Lent and Advent, but something we can (and should!) get in the habit of practicing all year. It's not just about detachment, but about coming to recognize how much we need God. Father Michael gives some great advice about learning how to start with small actions and grow into greater and greater freedom.
