S08 Ep12 - Sons Become Brothers and Fathers - Jacques Philippe Book Study Pt 2

Continuing our study of Fr Jacques Philippe’s Priestly Fatherhood: Treasure in Earthen Vessels, we dive into the heart of priestly fatherhood and what transforms a man into a true spiritual father. We discuss the profound reality that no one can be a father without first being a son, the essential role of prayer, and the way fatherhood flows through brotherhood, humility, and mercy. This conversation also explores the Beatitudes as the blueprint for authentic fatherhood, the Church’s role in shaping priests as sons and grooms, and how the ministerial priesthood exists to ignite the baptismal priesthood of all believers.
