“Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ.” These were the first words St. John Paul II spoke to the world at his installation Mass in October 1978. They inspire us, but they’re also hard to live. Dr. Sri explores what these words really mean, why trying harder not to be afraid rarely works, and how John Paul II’s own life of suffering reveals a deeper path.
In a world full of distractions, how do we make room for God? Drawing on St. Teresa of Ávila's spiritual classic, The Interior Castle, Dr.Sri explains why cultivating an interior life is essential for deepening our relationship with God. He introduces mental prayer as a foundational practice and offers practical ways to begin making space for a more intimate conversation with the Lord.
The Rosary is a beautiful prayer—but sometimes it can feel surprisingly difficult. Our minds wander, we get tired, and finding 15–20 minutes to pray can feel impossible. So what should we do when the Rosary feels more like a chore than a prayer? Dr. Sri offers encouragement and practical ways to make the Rosary a more personal encounter with Jesus.

Doing whatever you want isn’t true freedom. We often think freedom means being free from rules, expectations, or anyone telling us what to do—but God gave us free will for something much deeper: the freedom to love.
