S01 Ep. 56 – Encountering Christ Through Suffering

Reflecting on the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats (Mt 25:31-46), Fr. Eric expounds upon how we are called to love Christ through the poor; and embrace Christ’s own spiritual poverty as important prerequisites to becoming an authentic child of God and a true heir to the Kingdom of Heaven. 

To illustrate how Christ is present to us in a special way through the poor, Fr. Eric uses an example inspired by the life of St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  A further example is drawn from Fr. Eric’s own life involving the Sacrament of Confession to show how the priority within the scope of Divine Providence should always be on prayer and penance, as opposed to any sort of activism.
