Introduction by Fr. Michael

Welcome to Heart to Heart’s reflections for the Third Week of Easter in our series, Season of Joy. This week’s meditations are designed to help lift us from discouragement, restore our joy, and gently remind us of the importance of healthy, holy self-care.

In today's meditation, drawn from Hebrews, chapter 12, Fr. Kubicki invites us to envision the great cloud of witnesses who surround us—encouraging us to persevere as we run the race, with our eyes fixed on Jesus.

Thank you for praying with us. If you miss a meditation or two, it’s never too late to begin again.

Try to find a regular time in your day for prayer.
Regular rhythms build healthy habits…
Healthy habits help cultivate virtue…
And a virtuous life is a holy life!
