Evangelizing the Youth - The Inner Life - January 31, 2025

The Inner Life

Fr. John Eckert joins Patrick to discuss Evangelizing the Youth * (4:06) Who was St. John Bosco and what is his story? * Why is it important to teach children the Faith? * What is the role of parents in raising their kids in the Faith? (20:39) Break 2 * Donna - My experience with the catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Helps them desire to know Jesus more and live their faith and being more responsible for seeking God. * (27:16) What is the importance of having fun with children? * (33:31) Lisa - When I was 14, my freshman science teacher led me to Christ. She said she loved me and brought me to church. She said because Christ first loves me. (38:11) Break 2 * Mark - I'm a school bus driver.  I'm around kids all day and really enjoy it.  I'm able to interact with them and have been doing that for 9 years. * (44:05) George - 27 year catechist. 3 years ago, moved into an impoverished neighborhood. I've been challenged by being able to relate to 7th graders. Pre-confirmation. I always place my classes in the hands of the holy spirit.  Always asking what I can do to bring Christ to them. Am I doing all that I can? * Maria - Great granddaughter is 12 years old. Went to Mass with me. Now she and her mother say they're busy. I try to be joyful and tell her about the saints. I don't know how to encourage her if they're not attending Mass.
