Fr. Joseph and Joe sit down to discuss the importance of prioritizing different Catholic liturgical seasons. Most fundamentally, this has to do with prioritizing the Sabbath day. What does it mean to truly take a Sabbath? How can you rid yourself of unnecessary tasks that resemble the servile labor Catholics are commanded to avoid? They also discuss the importance of being intentional with the various Liturgical seasons, Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter, and especially not having certain ones bleed into one another. #catholicchurch #catholic #podcast
