Redeemer Catholic Podcast
Official podcast of the Servants of the Redeemer

Life is rough, we get it. It’s messy and sometimes it feels like it’s impossible to live a life of holiness, obedience, and humble servanthood when things like parenting, jobs, and the grind of daily life get in the way.

Join hosts Adam and Holly Novotny, directors of the Marian Servants® of the Redeemer community, as they candidly share how modeling Mary’s example of holiness, obedience, and service, can lead us into deeper waters of faith and draw us closer to the fulfilled life God intends for us to live.

This is the official podcast of the Servants of the Redeemer, Inc. community, a Baltimore-area community chapter of the Marian Servants of Divine Providence®, a Public Association of the Christian Faithful, founded in Clearwater, FL in 1987.

Scriptures mentioned during podcast

Quote from St. Teresa of Avila

Hope, O my soul, hope. You know neither the day nor the hour. Watch carefully, for everything passes quickly, even though your impatience makes doubtful what is certain, and turns a very short time into a long one. Dream that the more you struggle, the more you prove the love that you bear your God, and the more you will rejoice one day with your Beloved, in a happiness and rapture that can never end.
