Segment 1: Understanding the SacramentsA key element that separates the Catholic Church from other denominations is its understanding of the Sacraments. We discuss Fr. Chris Alar’s book Understanding the Sacraments with Doug Keck.Segment 2: A Day in the Life of the Holy FamilyThe Scriptures don’t tell us much about Jesus’ early childhood, and they tell us even less about how he, Mary and Joseph spent their day. Steve Ray looks to history and other sources to experience life through their eyes. This is a public episode.
