The Inner Life August 07, 2024 - Martyrdom

Father Eric Nielsen joins Patrick to discuss Martyrdom (4:30) What does Martyrdom mean? How can we practice martyrdom in our life. (14:48) Julie - My great grandfather was John Rogers, burnt at the stake in 1555.  I find it interesting b/c the protestants were doing the persecution and don't understand the Queen.  What was the big fuss and the conflict. (20:26) Break 1 The blood of the martyrs, why is it important? (34:21) Mary - So do we have to suffer to prepare to go to heaven? Nick - Those wounds that we share with him are like the jewels in heaven.   That was very powerful that they recognized him by his wounds and good message.   We could also offer up little martyrdoms. (40:35) Break 2 Patrick shares an email from Christina who is a college athlete and needs to balance sports and faith with her friends. (45:03) Danielle - How we also have to teach our younger children to die to Jesus.   If willing to die for Jesus, heaven will happen.
