Hey, everybody. Welcome to the You are born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo. That's me. I'm Father John. I'm the executive director at Acts 29. Where we talk about anything and everything having to do with transformation in the church. I'm here as always with my dear sister friend, Mary Guilfoyle. How are you? I'm great father. How about you?

We're raw. Yeah, we're a little sobered, aren't we? Yeah, it's been a challenging week.

A lot of fronts with some of the events in the news, and we want to talk a little bit about that,

don't we? Yeah, we do. So today, the title of our conversation is, weep with Those Who Weep. And I would imagine there's

quite a few of us who have shed more than a few tears this week. So, Father, let's pray before we

die in. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Amen. Well, we just pray right now,

not so much for ourselves and for what we're about to talk about,

but for those who are hurting right now. We pray for those who've lost their lives in the attacks

last week in Afghanistan. We pray for the conversion of those who did those acts. We pray for the families who are grieving.

We pray for the men and the women in the military whose lives are in harm's way, and for the

countless men, women, and children who are in danger in these days.

Father, your son is the Prince of Peace.

We pray that he would do what only he can do and bring peace not just to the world generically,

but into our hearts,

and that you would continue to help us to understand

how it is that we as his disciples are

supposed to respond in times like this.

We ask all this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Amen.

The name of the Father Son, Holy Spirit.

So, Father, where does the title of today's episode come from?
