"Your Faith Anew!"
Your Faith Anew! exists to help souls grow in their knowledge of the Catholic Faith, strive to remain in a state of grace, and encounter the transforming joy of the Gospel. Its mission is simple yet eternal: to save souls, glorify God, and become saints.
Hosted by David Russell, this daily reflection podcast draws deeply from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the writings of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta—especially The Book of Heaven—guiding listeners into a deeper understanding of living in the Divine Will.
David is the author of four spiritually rich works: Magi Theology: The Essence of Illusion, The Little Magician – Discovers Bigger and Better, Our Pilgrimage with the Pilgrim Virgin, and his newest release, Our Mother in the Divine Will. With a lifelong fascination for the mystical, David discovered a profound connection between the art of illusion and deeper spiritual realities—an insight that inspired both his theological and children’s writings. His work Magi Theology received both the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur from the Diocese of Knoxville.
In 2010, David was introduced to the writings of Luisa Piccarreta, which deeply resonated with his own spiritual insights. This encounter helped shape the foundation of his ministry.
In 2017, he founded the Your Faith Anew! prayer and study group to help Catholics rediscover and fall in love with their Faith. At the heart of his message is this conviction:
“The Catholic Faith prepares us to receive the Gift of Living in the Divine Will—and this Gift enables us to live our Faith in a divine manner most pleasing to God.”
Join us daily as we seek not only to understand our Faith—but to live it fully, joyfully, and in union with the Divine Will.

Luisa writes,
As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and it seemed that another Image, completely similar to Him, would come out from within His interior - only, it was smaller. I was surprised on seeing this, and He said to me: “My daughter, everything that can come out from within a person is called a birth, and this birth becomes the child of the one who delivers of it. Now, this daughter of mine is Grace which, coming out of Me, communicates Herself to all the souls who want to receive Her and transmutes them into as many other children of mine. Not only this, but everything good and virtuous that can come out of these second children, becomes the children of Grace. See now, what a long generation of children Grace forms for Herself, if only they receive Her. But, how many reject Her; and my daughter comes back into my womb, alone and childless.” While He was saying this, that Image enclosed Herself within me, filling me completely with Herself.”

SPEAKER_01Welcome. This is David Russell and your faith anew. Daily reflections guiding you to live in the divine will. Today's reflection is from the Book of Heaven by the servant of God Louisa Picaretta, May 5th, 1905, volume six. Let us begin in the will and name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Heavenly Father, source of all grace, you desire to generate your life within us. Open our hearts to receive your grace fully, that it may bear fruit and multiply in acts of love and virtue. May we never reject your gift, but welcome it and allow it to form in us a divine generation. Amen. No one born of God commits sin, for God's nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches in paragraph nineteen ninety seven Grace is a participation in the life of God. It introduces us into the intimacy of the Trinitarian life. Before we enter into today's reading, we're reminded that grace is not merely a help, it is divine life within us. It generates something new, something living.
SPEAKER_00This prepares us to understand the mystery Jesus reveals to Louisa.
SPEAKER_01Louisa writes As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for just a little, and it seemed that another image, completely similar to him, would come out from within his interior, only it was smaller. I was surprised at seeing this, and he said to me, My daughter, everything that can come out from within a person is called a birth, and this birth becomes the child of the one who delivers of it. Now, this daughter of mine is grace, which, coming out of me, communicates herself to all the souls who want to receive her and transmutes them into as many other children of mine. Not only this, but everything good and virtuous that can come out of these second children becomes the children of grace. See now what a long generation of children grace forms for herself if only they receive her. But how many reject her, and my daughter comes back into my womb alone and childless. While he was saying this, that image enclosed herself within me, filling me completely with herself. Jesus reveals a deep and beautiful mystery. Grace is not static, it is generative. It is life that gives life. He describes grace as a daughter that comes forth from him, and this daughter seeks to reproduce herself in souls. When we receive grace, we become children of God. But even more, our good acts become further children born from grace. This creates a divine multiplication, an entire generation of holiness flowing from a single act of reception. But there is a tragedy. Many reject grace. When grace is refused, it returns to God alone and childless. What could have been a flourishing spiritual lineage becomes empty. This calls us to awareness. Every inspiration, every prompting, every movement toward good is grace knocking. When we say yes, something is born. In the divine will, this multiplication becomes even more powerful. Every act done in union with God generates eternal fruit. Acts that never end, children of grace that live forever. We're not just called to receive grace. We are called to let it bear fruit, to allow it to multiply through our lives.
SPEAKER_00Let us pray.
SPEAKER_01O divine grace, living gift of God, come and dwell within me. Do not find my soul closed or resistant, but open and ready to receive you. Jesus, let every grace you give me bear fruit. Let no inspiration be lost, no prompting ignored. Multiply your life within me. Let my thoughts, words, and actions become children of grace. Acts that glorify you and live eternally in your will. Where I have rejected grace in the past, forgive me. Restore in me the desire to welcome every gift you offer. May my life become a fruitful generation of love, a living echo of your divine life. Amen. Thank you for joining your faith anew today. Let us remember that every grace we receive has the power to generate eternal fruit. In the divine will, our lives become a living lineage of divine acts. Let us welcome grace and allow it to flourish. Until tomorrow, stay in His will, and your faith will be made anew.
