Father Ramil Fajardo joins Patrick to discuss Sacrifice
(6:45) What is a sacrifice?
(12:34) Ramon - I would like some advice to know if what I'm doing is a sacrifice for someone else or for me.
Walter - Reading a book by Archbishop Luis Martinez called The Sanctifier.  Whole purpose of the Holy spirit's work is to reproduce Jesus in us. Sacrifice, joy, love.  Most important is sacrifice because that's our job on earth.

(22:11) Break 1
Nick - When we look at the crucifix, it's a great invitation.  We saw what he went through and we unite our sufferings.  All of those sufferings that bring about death are unavoidable.  He asks us to offer it up. We have to receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity. I'm offering my struggles.
(26:52) How do we cultivate the spirit of a Martyr?
How can we cultivate sacrifice n our own lives?
(34:45) James - There's a phrase in the psalms that talks about sacrifice of praise.  I would like to talk about that.

(38:12) Break 2
How can families make sacrifices in their lives?
(45:15) Kelly - If on a Friday, you begin to eat meat and then remember it's Friday, should you eat it or give it up?

What is Liturgy?

Mary Lou

Nick

Liturgy Wars

Father Joseph Illo joins Patrick to discuss Liturgy and the Spiritual Life
(3:30) What is Liturgy?
How do you avoid superficiality when at Mass?
(15:44) Mary Lou - I have been quietly evangelized by several Catholics in my life. Wept my eyes at my first Mass.  Priest who was saying the homily was a millionaire who became a priest. He told his conversion story. I wept at the beauty of it. I told told the priest I wanted to become a Catholic after that and all because of the beauty and reverence of the first Mass.

(21:57) Break 1
What are the different parts of the Liturgy?
Karen - Being a cradle Catholic and now in my late 60's.  It was when I was in my 30's that I really believed in the real presence. When I had an epiphany in Adoration, I really believed it was Jesus.
(32:19)  Nick - Made me think about when I proposed to my wife and graduated to liturgy.  When we fall in love with the Lord in the Eucharist, we're truly in love with the Lord and all those angels.  If we truly love the Eucharist and believe in the Lord.
Joseph - As a practicing Catholic, I recently developed a devotion to the Mass because of a show on RR where God spoke the word and brought the universe into existence.  Same priest said the words Christ spoke.  Made the connection which made me more devout into believing in the true presence.

(39:32) Break 2
How has the liturgy changed over time?
(44:20) How do we navigate the “liturgy wars”?
Carol - Catechism teacher, how can you explain the Mass to them simply?
