Ave Maria Radio presents Christ is the answer with Father John Ricardo.

0:08.5

Knowing Jesus is the best gift that any person can receive.

0:13.2

That we've encountered him as the best thing that's happened in our lives.

0:17.0

And making him known by our word and deeds is our greatest joy.

1:16.2

We owned the whole bar every week. It was just amazing. And there'd be priests scattered throughout in booths,

1:22.2

1:28.4

or they got a single malt straight up,

1:30.8

and somehow the inhibitions about going to confession seem to wane.
