In this episode of JP2 Morning Crew, Brandon Clark and Raul Caro welcome back Deacon Frank Reilly for an insightful conversation on the saints mentioned in Eucharistic Prayer I, especially fitting as we approach the solemnity of All Saints. They dive into the history and meaning of Eucharistic Prayer I, discuss why certain saints are included, and recount the inspiring lives of these holy men and women, including apostles, martyrs, and notable figures like St. Lawrence and St. Cecilia. Deacon Frank also shares personal anecdotes and emphasizes the importance of saints as role models of faith and courage.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on these saints’ lives, which exemplify resilience, dedication to faith, and the ability to face hardship with grace. The show wraps up with an invitation to JP2 Radio’s annual dinner on November 15, featuring Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers.
