How can we practice and live the sacraments?

Questions Covered:

17:00 - How can I explain to my husband the importance of Confession? 

28:30 - If I go to Confession and am resolved of my sins, will I remain in a state of sanctifying grace until I sin again?  

33:27 - Is what most modern people think about Confirmation different than what it means? 

38:28 - Was it a mortal sin that I didn’t ask my mother to get a priest to give Last Rites to my brother when he was dying? 

44:09 - If a person is Confirmed in the Catholic Church but leave for another religion in adulthood, is that something that can take away their salvation? 

48:14 - My father passed away. He was in the hospital for a week before he died. He did not receive Last Rites. How did that lack of the sacrament affect his salvation?

This week on the Podcast we continue to talk about the last things. In the first reading we talk about Prophet Malachi and how his book condemns the offensive defiled sacrifices made in the temple since the return from exile. Malachi prophesies the destruction of the evil ones. In the second reading we talk about how St Paul exhorts us to work hard even if we think it is the end times. We need to keep from the idleness that brings about sin. In the Gospel we talk about the destruction of the temple in 70AD and how we are all called to be prepared for the end times in our day as well. Jesus tells us not to be terrified and persevere in order to save our lives, our spiritual lives.

Episode #52: When your prayers are not answered, the Devil says, "God has abandoned you." God is saying: "Keep praying, pray with persistence, and use this time to lean on Me harder." It's a faith-builder. God will move mountains for you, but he wants you to put him first before everything else. He wants you to spend more time with him.
