They also discuss the concept of the Gap and the Gain.

One of the big questions that Father Craig gets all the time when someone feels called by the Holy Spirit to start Evangelizing is "where to start". The good news is that after 2000 years of experience the Catholic Church has developed a play book to bring people into the tent and it is called the Kerygma. The Kerygma consists of 5 ideas. 1. You were created by God for a purpose. 2. That purposed is difficult to act on because we live in a fallen state. God loved us so much that He send Jesus to redeem us.

In this episode Father Craig discusses how pursuing moral excellence is how we as humans fulfill our greatest desire. He gets into how moral excellence is so much more than just adhering to rules and prohibitions. When you humans are chasing their greatest desire, Union with God, "the rules" are simply the starting point that those making the spiritual journey to God use as a boundary to start their journey. And as the desire for God becomes stronger and stronger the person seeking God's grace does not "break the rules" because it keeps them from their greatest desire. The Monk...
