S08 Ep11: Priestly Fatherhood: A Treasure in Earthen Vessels - Jacques Philippe Book Study Pt 1

In this episode, Stina and Padre begin their book study on Fr Jacques Philippe’s Priestly Fatherhood: Treasure in Earthen Vessels, exploring the mystery and gift of priesthood. They reflect on why fatherhood is essential for both family and faith, the wounds caused by its absence or distortion, and how authentic fatherhood mirrors God’s own love. From lineage and heritage to mercy, freedom, and responsibility, this conversation touches on the role of priests as spiritual fathers, the challenges of fatherhood in today’s culture, and the beauty of unity when we live as children of one Father.
