CPR Catholic Protestant Revival

In today’s episode I revisit the topic of the Eucharist. Members of my own family have shown a disinterest in going to mass at times, saying they feel God’s presence more when hunting or fishing or when they attend other churches worship services.

I want to explain how worship is not based on feelings, it’s based on relations. How is God calling us to worship and what does that look like from a biblical and Catholic viewpoint?

In today’s episode I talk about grace. We acquire grace through baptism and conversion by what Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross but we have to continue to apply that grace to our lives to grow in holiness and acquire salvation.

In today’s episode I talk about the role of the pope as head of the Catholic Church. We remember Pope Francis, who passed away this Easter.

Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
~Amen

“The Catholic Guide to Depression” by Aaron Kheriaty

In today’s episode I talk briefly about the Covid-19 pandemic. The Catholic Church teaches about faith and the problem of evil, which may be one of the hardest mysteries to understand. Many fall away and loose faith due to the evils in this world.

Also, I finish the story of the birth of our second child. New life shines hope in times of darkness!
