On The Road To Perfection

Many of us have never seen a Mass of Ordination or the Sacrament of Holy Orders administered.

Those of us who have may not understand exactly what is going on.

Having been involved in several, Beth and Kristofer go into full detail about:

- what happens at the Mass and Rite;

- what this type of Sacrament is called;

- what graces the men who receive the Sacrament are given;

And they help us better appreciate the men who receive it.

Of course, there's that question we all have...

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is seldom received by us and perhaps the least known of all the Sacraments.

Nevertheless, it is important to our understanding of Faith, Hope, and Love.

Beth and Kristofer, who have both received this Sacrament, explain all the important details and why this Sacrament is truly important.

They answer why we need it, who can and how we can receive it, and what it does to us.

Yes, miracles happen!

Reconciliation is a Sacrament of Healing and is most commonly called "Confession.'

But what does that mean and what does it heal?

Beth and Kristofer answer this question along with who can receive and give absolution of sins, when absolution of sin can be withheld, and why it is important to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

And, of course, how to go to Confession.

Beth and Kristofer jump into "the source and summit of our faith":

The Sacrament of The Eucharist.

While there is another episode from two years ago about the Eucharist, and they talk about it regularly, this episode answers the questions about the Real Presence - it ACTUALLY IS the BODY and BLOOD of Jesus Christ!

This is where you find out how and why.

The Eucharist is also the Soul and Divinity of Jesus, and Kristofer just thought the gnawing on flesh and blood has a cool air about it and should be capitalized!

He is also fond of saying, "Do you believe in Miracles?!" when it comes to The Eucharist.

In our first episode of the Sacraments series, we covered baptism, now, Beth and Kristofer jump head on into perhaps the most misunderstood and misinterpreted sacrament of them all: Confirmation

Baptism is the First Sacrament.

Without being baptized, we cannot receive any other Sacraments.

But why?

Beth and Kristofer explain what baptism is, how baptism came to be, how we are to baptize, and who can baptize.

God The Holy Spirit is the "last" person of the Holy Trinity, but is by no means the least!

But many of us don't actually know who He is, what He does for us, and why He's hard to understand.

After Kristofer gives the Holy Spirit a most-likely politically incorrect nickname, Beth reels hm in as they discuss the very important, if enigmatic, Holy Spirit.

God the Son is perhaps the most relatable Person of the Holy Trinity.

Both fully human and fully God, He is the Paragon of Virtue.

Beth and Kristofer expound upon the Second Person of the Trinity in this episode of On the Road to Perfection.

At least Beth does. Kristofer tries his best to sound like he knows something.

God The Father is one of three very important persons in our faith.

But Who is He?

In this episode of On the Road to Perfection, Mom and Dad explore Him and who He is as a person of the Trinity.

Don't worry!

As always, they keep it simple and down to earth in this episode!

What are Sacraments?

Why do we have them?

Where did they come from?

In this episode of On the Road to Perfection, Beth and Kristofer take a moment to talk about these seven very important parts of the Catholic Faith.
