Upfront with the Archbishop

40. Embrace Limit: Sensual Pleasure

Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton Season 1 Episode 39

Today on the podcast Archbishop Smith is speaking about having a holy relationship with sensual pleasure. 

Food, entertainment, sexuality - how do we exercise temperance towards the experience of pleasure? 

How can pleasure draw us closer to Christ, rather than farther away? 

Today we are on the third and final episode of our “Embrace Limit” miniseries. 

There are many different parts of being a Catholic that can seem to limit our freedom, and therefore limit our happiness. But if we look a little closer, sometime the parts of being a follower of Christ that can seem most constraining are the parts that lead to the most freedom and joy! Embrace Limit is a miniseries that explores why the limits of our Catholic faith can lead us to a life of limitless joy and freedom.

Our first Embrace Limit episode focused on the Catholic Church’s teachings on sexuality, including the definition of marriage, contraception and sex outside of marriage. Last week's episode focused on the Catholic concept of vocation.
