to carry on the preaching of the good news, salvation, eternal life, through him, only through him. So how do we maintain this physical relationship with Jesus Christ? It's through the church that he established, in particular through the sacraments that are administered through that church.

So whenever the Catholic Church, one of the things that we talk about all the time, it's the meat and potatoes. It's what it is. It's the sacraments. So... to celebrate the sacraments, to celebrate the Eucharist, for example, you have to be a validly ordained priest, a priest that was validly ordained by a valid bishop who is in communion with the Pope.

And he would be in communion with all the popes before him, which take us back to the lineage of, on the line back to Jesus Christ. So what he handed on, they handed on. Jesus walked and talked with the apostles, spent time with them, touched them, They called their successors, spent time with them, walked with them, put their hands on them for the ordinations.

That's continued for all the ordinations to the priesthood and the episcopacy to be a bishop to now. All validly ordained bishops have been consecrated by a bishop that came before them. All priests are validly ordained by a bishop that was validly ordained. And so there's an actual physical touch. Like when the bishop put his hands on my head,

And in order in my hands, in ordination, there's an actual concrete physical touch that like one hand to the next, 2000 years. That's pretty cool. And so how do we have this personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Yeah, we can talk to the Lord in prayer, but that's a spiritual relationship with Him.

If you're, earlier we talked about like going to the mountains and how that'd be hard for you to go for a week. You mentioned getting away from work, but I think more than that, I don't think you want to be away from your wife and your kids for more than a week. You want to be with them. So if you were around the world, you could call her every day.

You could do FaceTime with your kids, but it's not like walking through that door and picking them up and hugging them. There has to be physical touch, which is why God became man, because to save us completely. He's not removed from this experience that we have. It's a physical thing. It's raw, man. It's raw, which makes it so real, which goes back to the question that Brian had at the beginning.
