Are we fighting lust the wrong way? What if the solution isn’t suppression but wonder?

In this episode, Fr. Malachy CFR reveals a countercultural response to the struggles of lust—not through shame or sheer willpower, but by reclaiming childlike wonder. With the simplicity of gratitude, the humility of grace, and the power of blessing, we are invited to see beauty not as a threat, but as a glimpse of God. Lust disfigures, but love restores. This isn’t about denial—it’s about freedom. If your heart longs for purity and healing, you’re not alone. There’s a better way to see.
