Summary

In this episode, Fr. John and Mary bring their three-part series on their apostolic values to a close by talking about the importance of being docile to the Holy Spirit and choosing to sail instead of row on mission. They reflect on what it means to let go of control, allowing the Spirit to set the course, trusting His power over our own efforts.
