Convo with Kyle: As we celebrate National Marriage Week and St. Valentine’s Day, this week’s episode of Truth in Charity focuses on the mystery of marriage. Bishop Rhoades offers guidance for couples on things like: the importance of recalling one’s wedding day, being open to God’s grace, the definition of true sacrificial love, as well as why forgiveness and apologies are essential for a successful marriage. Bishop then offers the insights of St. Pope John Paul II and other saints on what makes a marriage special and long-lasting. LISTENER SUBMITTED QUESTIONS: - 26:13 - Our sacramental marriage validation is set for a Saturday in February, before my baptism at Easter vigil. If we cannot truly impart the sacrament of marriage upon each other until I am baptized, what makes the validation ceremony more than a sacramental marriage in appearance alone? - 28:45 - Why can a Mass not be celebrated at our validation ceremony? - 29:18 - Please explain how baptism of desire might apply to my life before I am baptized. I have been told I am a creature of God, but not a daughter of God. - 32:02 - I was wondering if you could explain the origin of tapping your chest during the consecration and whether or not words are meant to be spoken during this time as well? - 36:22 - Can you tell me whether or not you know if homeschooling in your diocese are able to play on their parochial school sport teams? - 37:50 - Will there be food in heaven? ------ Truth in Charity is brought to you in part by Notre Dame Federal Credit Union. ------ Live: www.redeemerradio.com Follow us on social media: www.Facebook.com/RedeemerRadio www.Twitter.com/RedeemerRadio www.Instagram.com/Instagram Submit your question(s): Call / Text (Holy Cross College text line) - 260-436-9598 Online - www.RedeemerRadio.com/AskBishop E-mail - AskBishop@RedeemerRadio.com Subscribe to the Podcast: iTunes | Google Play | SoundCloud | RSS
