The Value of Tradition - The Inner Life - December 10, 2025

Dave Heney joins Patrick to discuss The Value of Tradition (3:54) What is Tradition in the Church? (19:01) Break 1 What is the importance of family Traditions? (23:19) Sandra - Tradition of pinatas and the origin. It comes from the Augustine’s of Mexico. Symbol represents seven deadly sins. Christi - The Jesse Tree. Having the little ones decorate the ornaments. (28:15) Pat - A couple traditions....the Rosary. Been doing it since 2008. Also, my wife and I have been saying good morning to God before starting the day. Try to put goodness to counteract the world and what's going on. George - Incorporating tradition in the family. How do I know if it's something I like to do or share with my family? Example the Liturgy of the Hours. (39:16) Break 2 Angel - My mother after Thanksgiving...everything stopped and there was no partying until Christmas. Everything was cleaned during that time and then brought the tree in Christmas Eve. Acted like a new baby was coming into the house. We don't celebrate until late Christmas Eve. What are times when traditions need to be curtailed?
