Cyrus tells Julia that though his previous life was full of accolades, including studying in England, going to law school in the U.S., and being elected to office in the State of Washington, it could leave him feeling empty. But certain parts of his experience, like helping underserved children or talking with spiritual leaders, would make him &#8220;feel this closeness of God.&#8221; Cyrus talks about how praying the Examen helped him find &#8220;when I was being prophetic, which doesn&#8217;t mean standing on a mountaintop&#8230; it&#8217;s any time I&#8217;m living the gospel in a way that pushes me towards growth&#8230; and hopefully also leads the way for others.&#8221; He also tells Sister Julia about his experiences with cancer and loss and how he hopes they can be &#8220;a part of holiness, when my wounds are open to your wounds, and we can actually [have] the wounds as a site of encounter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Br-Cyrus-Habib.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Br-Cyrus-Habib.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Br-Cyrus-Habib-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Br-Cyrus-Habib-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Br-Cyrus-Habib-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Br-Cyrus-Habib-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Br-Cyrus-Habib-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Br.
