Tanya Cushman Reviewer
2
Well, as an Aussie, plane rides to get anywhere are always a long haul,
3
which is why at airports I developed a huge appreciation for good coffee.
4
So recently, a sister and I were given vouchers for vanilla lattes.
5
And we were at the airport one day, and I said, Sister, today's the day.
6
And so I went up to the barista, and they asked my name, and I just said, Sister.
7
I kept it simple.
8
And not long after, I heard her call out, Sister.
9
And exactly at the same time, another woman and her daughter approached the counter.
10
But just as I reached out in desperation for my two coffees, she interrupted me and said,
11
excuse me what's your order and I in defense said two vanilla lattes
12
puzzled she said sister what's your religious order absolutely humiliated I said we're the sisters of life we love God
13
and we love you bye God is calling your name tonight.
14
You know, even in the midst of a crowd, he calls in a way and a tone that is only known to you alone.
15
We can get confused and caught up, right, on why we matter, what's life all about.
16
But for Christ, it has and always will be crystal clear.
17
You are his idea.
18
And he has never ceased calling you into life even now God wants you to hear him tonight
19
and in a new way he's inviting you to take a new step
20
so recently we were getting groceries at a checkout
21
and the worker didn't look up at us so we introduced ourselves
22
and said sir what's your name
23
and he said to us I don't have a name
24
and sister said really and he started to share about how he once had faith
25
but after so many sufferings and disappointments
26
and setbacks in his life he'd been given to give up
27
on anything getting any better don't you watch the news sister he said
28
and we said no we don't have TVs
29
but then she began to remind him of another news feed not just the good news
30
but the real reality and the greatest story
31
that never stops going about a God who has not stopped saving
32
and concluding your story in mind especially when we don't see it
33
when we don't get it and this big tough guy looked up at sister
34
and said my name is Steve God cares about you
35
thought of you before your parents planned for you
36
and he's present to you even when his presence isn't evident
37
and praying for each one of you tonight the gospel passage
38
that God led me to is Luke 13 10 where the
39
sound of his call caused a conversion Jesus was teaching in a synagogue
40
and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for 18 years bent over
41
and couldn't stand up straight at all literally face down only
42
able to see the ground not able to look up look ahead look around perhaps tempted by discouragement or cynicism
43
doubting whether the good news applies to her condition anymore.
44
Now, I don't know about you, but whenever I've imagined this scene, I've always thought of this crippled woman of 18 years to be old and bent over,
45
you know, from decades of hard living and long suffering.
46
But as I prayed for you, I saw someone much younger, maybe 18 or a couple of years older.
47
And I realized that a lot of us have been carrying stuff, right? dark thoughts or lies, hard memories or weighty worries,
48
things that maybe at one stage in our life felt small and insignificant with no major impact on our lives,
49
so we just soldiered on, dragging them with us.
50
Lies that are spoken to us, suggested to us, maybe posted somewhere online, or maybe we agreed to it when we sinned or failed.
51
Lies like, I don't have what it takes
52
or I'm never quite enough I'm a fraud or dirty
53
or ugly or no one understands me I'm inadequate or bad
54
and lies that haven't left us cripple us
55
and cause a downcast vision of life you know late one
56
night we heard a knock at our front door in our convent
57
and we were just finishing Eucharistic Adoration and
58
so we invited this young woman in but when I looked back at the chapel Kirsten I'll call her was crying.
59
You know, she wasn't okay.
60
But it was kind of surprising because she had a great smile, you know, supportive family.
61
She had a boyfriend, a job, hobbies that others would have been impressed by.
62
But inside she was miserable.
63
And she couldn't understand it either.
64
But what she did remember was the thought
65
that she had as a little girl that had stuck around amidst all her success.
66
It wasn't complicated, but it bothered her, especially when life got quiet.
67
and the thought was God doesn't like you and so she resolved
68
that God is angry with me and day after day year after year
69
that small suggestion unreasonable and completely untrue grew into a debilitating weight
70
that was literally breaking her back carrying affliction for 18 years we can easily realize easily resolve
71
that this is the way it is for us you know
72
that circumstances aren't going to change
73
that God's not interested I'm not material for a miracle maybe
74
a burden to be punished instead you know it wasn't until
75
I experienced sudden death the confrontation of death in my life
76
that I began to hear the sound of shame inside of me
77
but I did not pick up on it at first you
78
know what it what at first felt like guilt like I wasn't enough didn't do enough took a spin for the worst.
79
I am not enough.
80
But the enemy is a bully and shame is his first language.
81
Even guilt, like realizing we've done something wrong, can be twisted into a claim on our identity.
82
You are wrong.
83
Tempting us with sin, but first destabilizing us in shame.
84
And bullies are weakness experts, which means they come to the same place, discouraging us with the same stories, repeating the same chorus.
85
Wounds, or places we've been hurt, love withheld from us left uncared for can be the places where these lies get loudest
86
and shame can seemingly shackle us it's interesting you know the
87
the woman in Luke was a believer she was shown up to church
88
and after almost two decades of no answers lacking clarity
89
and the worst worsening she responds by stepping forward to the sound of the Savior
90
and Luke reveals three steps
91
that Jesus takes before he asks one from her it says Jesus saw her Jesus called her
92
and Jesus spoke to her
93
when Christ calls our name the crippled parts of our hearts can never remain the same
94
when Kirsten who came for out to our front door
95
that night she had never been inside a convent
96
but she'd been running to anything you know
97
that would distract her from her darkness and
98
so can we from overuse of screen time to flicks
99
and food to gyms and games rooms but that night she was done
100
and so she said to us on
101
that night what every brave heart admits to
102
when on the brink of a breakthrough I'm here I need a change I can't change myself
103
but I'm willing to take a step today the Lord prompted me to tell her she was good
104
and at first I thought it was a little bit sentimental maybe too simple
105
but he persisted and
106
so in between tears I said Kirsten you are good the
107
deepest part of you is good God wants you to exist
108
looking at me like a ghost she said I've never heard
109
that before but hearing the truth of God's irrevocable goodness
110
that was given from him she asked for something I did
111
not see coming next she said sister can I have mass she wasn't even Catholic
112
but persisting she said I don't just want meaning about my life
113
she knew that she wanted to meet God in her life
114
and that she knew the Eucharist is
115
that encounter why st. Faustina asked Jesus why do you keep coming down to be with us
116
and Jesus said because love has brought me here
117
and love keeps me here there is one step
118
that shame cannot stop even the crippled from taking and
119
that is trust in Jesus it is shame
120
that came from the serpent from the start always downplaying God's
121
goodness in your life doubting the imprint the Savior has made on you overwhelming us with our own worthiness
122
and denying the gifts that God has already given you
123
but Jesus sees you Jesus is still calling you
124
and you can still come to him because trust touches Christ
125
when the crippled woman came Jesus intervened in her condition
126
and not after it and
127
when Jesus put his hands on the woman it says immediately she straightened up
128
and praised God Jesus said should not this woman bound for
129
18 years be set free from her infirmity Jesus longs to see you stand up straight tonight why
130
so you can look back at the God who is already looking at you with endless mercy
131
and infinite kindness to the gaze that sets us free from all
132
that cripples us tonight you know I didn't I didn't know God could get personal that all
133
that he even really wanted to I grew up in a Catholic family went to Catholic school my whole life
134
and kind of made a living out of checking all the good kid boxes.
135
I thought my life was blessed so long as I keep God impressed.
136
You know, did the right things, make something good of my life.
137
But it kind of felt more like a field that I had to perform on and only the perfect made it.
138
I always believed that God called me into life when he created me, but I had no idea that God was calling me into life at every moment of my life.
139
Even when I couldn't hear it, couldn't understand it, or I was running in the opposite direction.
140
God was still calling.
141
You know, there's a false hope out there that if you try hard enough, make the right choices and maintain control, things might work out for you.
142
But every accomplishment is followed by another benchmark to make, another test, another job.
143
Nothing ever satisfies.
144
And so we keep climbing, right?
145
We keep hoping that someday I'll reach it and take a breath, but it never comes.
146
Until we experience the limits of our life.
147
You lose a friend.
148
Or you keep stumbling over the same addiction.
149
Or the darkness does not go away.
150
Or you fail to live up to the unrealistic expectations of others.
151
Or you make it, but then you're left wondering whether there is more.
152
What keeps you from looking up?
153
You know, it could be an interaction you had 18 years ago or 18 minutes ago.
154
Perhaps your desires were squashed at a young age, your dreams disapproved of.
155
Maybe your innocence was interrupted by porn or you were mistreated.
156
Or perhaps you grew up too fast and concluded that it's too late or you're too far gone.
157
all suffer shame from a young age weighed down
158
but we still show up to church to seek to life without being able to really look up
159
but these are not places to run from they are the places that Christ comes to C.S.
160
Lewis said that There is no prison that Christ cannot preach to.
161
So I just wanna share a story I heard of a woman I'll call Carla, who taught me that even in the worst Christ still calls.
162
She said that she felt like a misfit in her life for as long as she could remember.
163
You know, finding friends wasn't easy.
164
Getting along was hard.
165
She wasn't popular and most of the time felt more like a loser.
166
You know, believing these truths can seem simple, right?
167
Until we experience what seems to be the opposite in our life.
168
And then these truths can seem irrelevant even distant
169
but the pain for her was unbearable so she started binging on food
170
and then regretting it she would make herself sick
171
and it didn't fix a problem but it gave her somewhere to run to
172
and numb the pain by the time she was in her teens she went to stronger things like drug
173
and alcohol you know we all suffer on the inside you know when gossip stings us
174
or teasing makes us feel insignificant
175
or a lack of connection makes us feel unwanted even rejected
176
and we can be lonely even if we still smile
177
but there is something deep inside of us
178
that says I was made for more everything shifted one morning
179
for color she woke up on cold tiles in a bathroom
180
floor hung over shaking holding a positive pregnancy test she'd never been more unready in her life than
181
that day she couldn't take care of herself how could she take care of a child it seemed impossible
182
and definitely never part of her plans but on those tiles without trying hard
183
or praying perfectly a new thought came to her you are
184
invited to life God never stops calling us even especially
185
when we're bent
186
or we feel out of shape inviting us just to take
187
one more step we don't earn the call the call is
188
what qualifies us your existence itself is evidence of your worthiness
189
he looks at you even now whether we are crushing life
190
or feel crushed by life you are worthy of an invitation to more
191
and when Jesus when he looked at that crippled woman he didn't critique
192
and correct her what does Jesus do
193
when he comes he shifts our view to look up to
194
him shame is a character in every one of our stories
195
but it never has the right to be the narrator without a major moment Carla made a choice
196
and it didn't end her pain in an instant, didn't cure her awkwardness or miraculously finish her papers.
197
She made the first of many courageous steps that altered the direction of her journey.
198
She said, quote, that day I decided to show up, just show up to climb out of my dark,
199
individual, controllable world and out into a bright, big, messy one.
200
You know, no one in this room can claim to know what's coming next in our lives
201
and we can plan we can dream we can hope
202
but the greatest freedom not comes from knowing
203
that your God has a plan for you dreamt of it first
204
and he knows how to lead you through it you remember
205
that that gentleman Steve at the grocery store another bloke right
206
when we were praying we were praying with him Andrew this
207
guy covered in tats came up was curious about all the man tears.
208
And sister leant over and offered him a medal of Mary.
209
And he said, no, with a glare.
210
And she said, okay, I respect that.
211
But as sister turned away, she heard God say in her heart, don't give up on this one.
212
And so she turned back and she said, well, can you at least carry our bags?
213
And after loading the bags in the car, she turned to him and said, Andrew, can I ask you something?
214
He grunted.
215
She said, can you try and help me understand why you would say no to someone who loves you?
216
He said, my mom was Catholic and she was nasty.
217
My father, he wasn't Catholic, but he was better.
218
But I want nothing now to do with religion in my life.
219
And sister said, Andrew, I'm so sorry.
220
They did not know how to love you.
221
And he went on.
222
He said, sister, I've had to find my way my whole life.
223
I'm still trying to find my own way.
224
Always trying to be something else for others.
225
But I don't think that's right. And Andrew was right.
226
It's not right that there is wrong in the world.
227
It's not okay that bad things happen to you.
228
It's not fine that people fail to love you.
229
In the way that God created you to be loved at every moment.
230
you know our hearts tell us first
231
that it's not enough to live for less than real love
232
and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stand here and say
233
that if you take another step
234
that everything in your life is going to go smoothly for you life is tough the cross is real
235
but if you take another step after
236
that next step God will not fail to bring meaning out of every misery
237
that you face in your life
238
because going with Christ will truly enable us to go through anything
239
because resilience it's not about how much we can handle it's
240
about how much we rely on the risen one this is
241
the secret of life with Christ he takes every setback
242
and makes it another starting point we have an opportunity tonight
243
to literally let Christ see us let him call our name
244
and come to him allowing him to touch our lives just one more time.
245
You know, after Andrew was being listened to by sister and sharing his pain, sister asked him, Andrew, could today be a new day for a mother to love you?
246
And looking back at her for the first time in her eyes, he said, yes.
247
Today could be a new day for me.
248
And this massive guy with big shoulders opened up his tattooed arms, picked up sister and gave her the biggest man hug she's ever had.
249
Every surrender consists of two elements, letting go and leaning in.
250
Tonight in confession, God saves and he releases us from lies.
251
The enemy's tactic is to divide you from Christ and distract us from him.
252
I'll never forget when a priest said to me after confession, he said, Sister, it sounds like you're looking for rest in a lot of other places.
253
that comment still causes my conversion as I keep realizing places
254
I can go to Jesus first you know it is
255
that it is Christ that awaits you in confession to drop the weight
256
and lean into his love
257
that gives true rest you know he's not surprised by our
258
sins even the repeats he died to untie you from them
259
but he waits on your permission first
260
so I invite you just to ask the Holy Spirit what
261
is holding me back you know is it a lie
262
that you have agreed to that's burdening you a habit
263
that you just can't stop sins
264
that you bring maybe for the first time you know sometimes the most courageous thing to confess is the sin
265
that you constantly sin in God is not your critic is
266
your creator he refuses to give up on the goodness
267
that he sees in you you know servant of God Don DeLingo shared
268
that one Christmas Jesus came to him
269
and he said the refuge I want is your heart the difference between our lives being miserable
270
and meaningful lies in one question will I surrender to Jesus again
271
and perhaps will I surrender to Jesus for the first time in my life DeLingo says
272
that one act of trust is more than a thousand fasts tonight in adoration
273
Christ makes himself small enough in the Eucharist so
274
that we know we are enough in his eyes the Eucharist
275
is the eternal effort of the father to elicit our faith this is the miracle of every Eucharist the soul
276
that surrenders becomes the cradle
277
that carries Christ every act of trans of every act of
278
surrender transforms our miseries into manges fit for a king God
279
has already made his mind up about you it's why you're here
280
and it's why you're here tonight Christ has already decided to show up
281
and wants to meet you in the moment that you're in
282
so as we turn to Jesus I just want to finish with the final story about
283
when God calls us to something new in our lives
284
so you know when the chosen people were journeying through the desert from Egypt, which represents slavery, sin, everything that holds us back,
285
and into the promised land, which symbolizes life with God and living in his plans, God gave a group a mission.
286
He told them, go ahead of the pack and check out the land I promise I'll give you.
287
And they went and they found a justed God had promised, full of fruit, rich in resources.
288
But they saw other things too.
289
They saw the enemy.
290
They saw people that were big and intimidating.
291
And they grew afraid and they started comparing themselves.
292
And they said, we can't go.
293
Why?
294
Because they are stronger, they said.
295
Forgetful of the one who sent them and the promises that he's already made them, they looked down to themselves and they lost confidence.
296
We all have fears.
297
Fear of our future, fear of what will come or won't come, fear about our past, what we missed out on, scared of what we get or we don't know.
298
But when we get fixated on our fears,
299
our sight is downcast and we get forgetful of the call and who is calling us and who has remained with us.
300
You know, God is not asking you to figure it all out tonight.
301
He's inviting you to come to the sun.
302
God qualified you by creating you.
303
To trust him in your fears, not by toughening up, not because of anything you've done or haven't done,
304
but with the confidence that comes from believing that Christ called you first and he's calling you in a new way tonight.
305
If you and I judge ourselves of our own strength, our own efforts, or in comparison to others, we'll hesitate and we'll turn back.
306
But you were not created to be held back in fear.
307
God has already decided to save you even before he created you.
308
And not just save you or simply be around you, but be discovered from within you.
309
do not fear the heights to let go
310
and to lean into love tonight without pre expectations for what tonight should look like
311
or feel like but with the expectation
312
that you will be unconditionally loved jesus sees you jesus is
313
calling your name jesus says to you tonight be set free from your infirmity.
314
And so Jesus, we just turn our hearts to you.
315
You are on our side.
316
Jesus, you deemed us worthy of life.
317
You have good plans for us, plans for today, plans for tomorrow, and plans for the day after that.
318
It was you who first called us into life, and it's you who keep calling us even today.
319
When you put your hands on the crippled woman, she straightened up and she praised God.
320
So Jesus, we ask, send your Holy Spirit to touch us, that we may praise you tonight.
321
Praise in certainty, praise in uncertainty, praise where we see your wonders, and praise where we wonder where you are.
322
Because Jesus, you always see the one when you see the crowd.
323
Send us your Holy Spirit that we may stand in your sight.
324
Fill us with courage that we may claim the call with confidence
325
because your love is everything we need and you are the answer to every ache.
326
Jesus, you did not call us into slavery or to be crippled by any spirit but to live in freedom.
327
And so we invite you into this room, we invite you into this altar, and we invite you into our hearts.
328
And Holy Spirit, keep our hearts open in these last moments as we await the entrance of Jesus.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
