| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:21.7 | If you're hungry for that encounter, if you're dying to know the love of God, |

| 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 | just hearing confessions. And it's a bar, you know, so someone's drinking a little bat blue |
| 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. |
