The Resurrection and True Rest
Manage episode 477543363 series 3551286
In this special bonus episode of Rebuild the Body, we reflect on the final fruit of the Lenten journey: true rest found in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Rest is more than sleep—it’s a spiritual reality, a lifestyle shaped by peace, surrender, and the victory of Easter morning.
With storytelling, scripture, prayer, and reflections from the saints and Catholic tradition, this episode invites you to enter into a deeper kind of rest—one that transforms not just your schedule, but your soul.
