Father Kris Stubna joins Patrick to discuss the Meaning of the Cross
- How was the cross understood by the early Christians?
- (8:13) How do we understand when Jesus says take up your cross and follow me?
- (14:00) Nick - I had an incident in 2016, where I was bleeding profusely and had to get into emergency surgery. Thought I was going to die. Prayed about it and got the inspiration to embrace my cross. We all have these incidents in our life and need to recognize the Lord in them.
- Should we just let suffering happen?
(20:14) Break 1
- What does it mean to
- (25:35) Dean - In my conversion, it was great to be able to go before a Catholic crucifix because Christ was there. The Passion of the Christ movie...the cross. Christ is there to help us carry the cross. His and ours.
- (30:37) Raul - 22-year-old special needs daughter. in laws also live with me. We've never had peace. Extreme stress. Only God has been able to help us get through that.
(36:21) Break 2
- How does our relationship with Jesus play a crucial role in taking up your Cross?
- (39:35) how is the Cross an expression of love?
- (44:24) Lucine - If sometimes a cross is not a cross but what Jesus says, the devil comes to kill steal and destroy. Starting to think of this because of a friend who has dementia. Is it a cross or something stolen from her from the evil one?
