03/20/23 • 41 min

Today, we read CCC, 1499 - 1532 and discuss the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick... In sickness and in health, God never does us part. He's here for it - all of it - and, while the road will look different for each of us, He wants us at the finish line because He loves us and wants our happiness, not just now... but forever.

S1E51 - Confession: Found in Scripture & Tradition

Today, we read CCC, 1461 - 1498 and discuss the foundations of the sacrament of confession. Jesus clearly entrusts the power to forgive (and not forgive) sins to his apostles, the first priests, in John 20: 19 - 23. CCC, 1447 then reminds us that confession has been practiced since the first century. Finally, the Council of Trent, in 1551, referred to Scripture and Tradition and, while not changing or "updating" the teaching, simply continued to clarify and sing the praises of this sacrament. What a gift that we get the same teaching in 2023 that Jesus taught millennia ago!
