With God’s Help – Ep. 02 (Br. Angel Gabriel Roque, BSG)

Aug 8, 2025

Join Bishop Shannon Duckworth and Br. Angel Gabriel Roque, BSG for a thought-provoking conversation inspired by this question from the Baptismal Covenant:
“Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?”

Together, they explore the Baptismal Covenant as a communal “pacto” rather than a contract, the ongoing call to begin again when we fall short, and the truth of God’s enduring love.
