Patti Brunner brings you Baptism, the final sacrament of the Catholic series: The Eucharist and Other Sacraments. Baptism brings life, eternity with God, and the grace to fulfill his plan to rescue those affected by choices made.

Welcome to Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner. Join Rebecca Brandes as she speaks about the Sacrament of Reconciliation on the Truth of the Spirit podcast during the series “Eucharist and Other Sacraments”. Dreading confession is a natural thing. Our natural instincts tell us to avoid pain but at the gym you hear “no pain no gain”. In Confession we have to humble ourselves.
Join Patti Brunner for Confirmation, from the new Truth of the Spirit series “The Eucharist and Other Sacraments”. This first episode introduces the concept of sacrament and begins with the Sacrament of Confirmation. The flow of the Spirit and the Spirit’s gifts is taught by the Catechism to take root at the decision to be open to God. The sacraments –the signs-of initiation of Baptism and Confirmation witness the choice and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit’s presence. Patti Brunner finds truth within the Catechism; the truth is potential. Each person who receives the sign of the Presence of God among us receives the potential to change the world. Week by week, day by day, hour by hour, the Holy Spirit dwells within those confirmed in the faith. This indelible mark is eternal; it should be clearly visible by the life led by those who have received it. The sign provides power and strength to wall always in the grace of the Lord.
The “Duties of a Christian” episode of Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner reminds us that we are not alone in our relationship with God. We are not alone in the Church. And so we need to know how to get along with each other in the Church. That’s why God, through the Fathers of the Church, gave all Christians rules to follow. These Church rules are called Canon Law.
Truth of the Spirit episode TOS021 Helmet of Salvation with Rick Brunner is part 7 of the Armor of God series. The Helmet of Salvation is the final piece of armor presented in the series. The Helmet of Salvation is a family heirloom passed down through the generations to recall the salvation given by Jesus through the cross, death and resurrection. It is a gift given at Baptism for us to wear for the rest of our lives. It helps us to think more clearly and recognize God. The enemy tries to penetrate the helmet not by hitting us over the head but by getting under it with thoughts and memories of failure and temptations. But the strength of the Helmet of Salvation is that it has been worn by all those who came before you. Each saint, each holy man and woman have their memories to share. The Helmet of Salvation was worn—indeed it was forged—by Christ himself. He continues to wear it with you and thus your strength comes from this. “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.”1 John 4:4.
