What would you say if an honorable king invited you to share his food, wear his clothing, and fight alongside him—promising that if you share in his labor, you will also share in his victory? In this episode, we dive into the Second Week of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, exploring the profound meditation on The Call of the Eternal King. We reflect on Christ not as a distant ruler, but as a King who suffers with us, invites us into intimate service, and asks only that we lend Him our efforts—no matter how small. We confront the excuses that hold us back: “I’m too tired.” “I can’t do it right.” “My contribution won’t matter.” Through the lens of Ignatian indifference, we discover that God isn’t waiting for us to conquer the world—He’s waiting for us to offer whatever we can, right now. Then, we turn to the mystery at the heart of our faith: The Incarnation. When the Second Person of the Trinity became man, He didn’t cease to be God. We explore how the early Church understood this truth—from baptisms in the name of Jesus to the vision of Stephen the Martyr—revealing the Triune God present in every moment of salvation history. Whether you feel strong or weak, capable or inadequate, this episode is an invitation to offer yourself fully to the King who desires not your perfection, but your presence.
