In Episode 2 of The Garden of Lent, Sr. Rita and myself reflect on the often painful but necessary movements of pruning and weeding in our spiritual lives.

Lent invites us to examine what God may be gently removing — habits, attachments, mindsets, or fears — not to harm us, but to make room for deeper fruitfulness. This conversation speaks tenderly to women navigating loss, surrender, and the hidden work God is doing beneath the surface.

In this episode, we explore:
– Why God prunes what He loves
– The difference between discipline and punishment
– Letting go of what chokes spiritual growth
– Trusting God in seasons of loss and refinement

If you’ve ever wondered why certain things had to be cut away, this episode offers hope, clarity, and compassion.
