Fr. John Eckert joins Patrick to discuss Beloved Child of God: Transfiguration

  • (4:10) What is the Transfiguration?
  • (13:45) what is the importance of Baptism in today feast?
  • Nick – Prevailing thought Peter makes this revelation of who Christ is. He falls many times. The Lord reveals so much to us. Yet in our pride and stupidity, we have so much to improve. We can never lose sight of how much we need to be transfigured in our lives.

(25:23) Break 1

  • How are we affiliated with God through Jesus?
  • (31:29) Marsha – When I listen to the Gospel, you’re my chosen one…I get so emotional. My family at Mass says I shouldn’t be emotional. I just want to know if it’s right or wrong.
  • (35:30) Laurie – I love how he’s bringing out making the transfiguration part of our lives. We’ll all fall short, but to keep grasping for that transfiguration in the lives of others.

(41:49) Break 2

  • When is it okay to tell God that I can’t handle my cross anymore?
