Our Lord's Imperfect Ancestors - Auspice Maria Episode 30 With Bishop James Ruggieri

Auspice Maria with Bishop James Ruggieri

The genealogy of Jesus is more than a list of names at the beginning of Mathew's Gospel. It's a brief summary of a deep story of salvation. Some of Jesus's ancestors were holy people, but most were imperfect at best. Bishop Ruggieri explains how the genealogy of Jesus shows God’s faithfulness through imperfect people, and invites us to trust in His plan even in times of waiting and uncertainty.
