Episode Details

As the Church marks Temperance Sunday on the eve of Lent, Fr Robert McCabe, Spiritual Director of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association of the Sacred Heart, reflects on the true meaning of temperance as a cardinal virtue, and its relevance in a culture of overindulgence.

Tracing the movement’s roots to Father Theobald Mathew and Father James Cullen, Fr Robert invites listeners to consider abstaining from alcohol during Lent not for health reasons, but in prayerful solidarity with individuals and families affected by addiction. He also explores the spiritual depth of the 12-step recovery journey and how faith, sacrifice, and visible witness can offer hope. A timely and challenging conversation on moderation, prayer, and standing alongside those seeking freedom and recovery.
