In this episode we look into one of the more significant moments in the life of St. Teresa of Avila, where she suffered a lot because of illness and paralysis, and almost died. We talk about the meaning of suffering, and how the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to us by Christ to strengthen us spiritually and help us in the most difficult moments of our lives.

One of the most important criticisms that Luther had against the Church was that some priests were selling indulgences. While “selling” them was an abuse, their proper use is of greatest importance. In today’s episode, we speak about one of the greatest ways you have to help those who have passed away—a treasure of the Catholic Church called “indulgences”. They are simple actions of devotion that, by the merits of Christ and the saints, can be very helpful to us and to the souls in Purgatory.
- The topics discussed in this episode can by found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, numbers 1471-1479.
- Scripture Passages: The Power of the Keys (Matthew 16:19)
- To know all the prayers and devotions that carry an indulgence (partial or plenary) attached to it, here is the Catholic Manual on Indulgences: http://holyjoe.org/indulgences/Indulgences_1999.pdf

Today I welcome Colton and Ben to speak about the Sacrament of Confession. St. John Nepomucene’s life and martyrdom is a reminder of the obligation that priests have of not sharing any sins that have been said during a sacramental confession. The king at that time wanted St. John to say whether the queen had confessed anything regarding a possible sin, but St. John refused. Listen in to know what happened next!

Want to make a good confession…?

So, here’s a quick guide to making a good, productive confession—and the first recommendation is to “Go do it!”.
