The exciting news for Baton Rouge is the addition of a new all-Catholic radio station. Located at AM 1380, WPYR is an affiliate station of EWTN. It offers a variety of talk shows, general information, and recorded talks by a variety of speakers. It is already providing blessings to the residents of Louisiana's capital city. I am not sure of its reach yet but I do know that I am thanking God for allowing this blessing to appear in our area. Also wanted to alert you about an upcoming conference and a great website I discovered. Go West Catholic Men is a website inspired by the journey of Fr. Jean-Pierre DeSmet, the first Catholic priest to evangelize the wild west of  America. His faith in God allowed him to stand boldly and bravely. He was one of the first missionaries to bring the Catholic faith to the native Americans. Today we need men with this same courageous spirit. The website asserts that "modern culture and media have negatively influenced the mindset of many men today. This makes it difficult to discern the "truth". That truth which is found in Christ and in His Church." They are also holding a conference later this year in Pendleton, Oregon. Finally today I wanted to talk about our sanctification and how it happens. I firmly believe that God sends folks into our lives to help us become sanctified. God is constantly trying to help us to become the "holy vessel" He planned even before our birth. It seems that the very people He sends into our lives to help us are usually the ones that we run away from. You know what I am talking about. You see their number pop up on your phone and you ignore the call. These are the folks that tell us the things we don't want to hear. Very often, we are trying to avoid hearing what they have to say. Usually, they are speaking God's truth to us. But that is hard to hear as a struggling Christian. We insulate ourselves in order to hold on to our worldly concerns. You need to pray about their mission. Ask God if they are being sent by Him to make a change in your life. God will let you know if the person has been sent by Him.  During the Lenten season, we should embrace our sanctification angels. We need help in order to allow our bodies to become a living sacrifice. The favor God provides is unmerited yet we need to allow Him to work in our lives.God is trying to renew our minds. He is trying to form our minds in the likeness of Jesus Christ. Why would we want to stop this? Allow yourself to be fully sanctified.
