Patrick Conleyby Patrick Conley

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?
