Hey, everybody. Welcome to you. We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo, Mary Guilfoyle. We are a couple of missionaries at Acts 29. This is the podcast where we talk about how acquiring a biblical worldview brings us great hope. My goodness, do we need hope? Hope in the God who created and rescued this world in order that you and I can be agents

of transformation and recreation. Mary started to pause there, but anybody in need of a little hope

right now? Goodness. I think that's what we're all praying for, Father John. Remember the got milk

commercials? You know, got milk question mark. You know, it's like, God hope. And the answers yes.

Yes, we do. But we, sometimes we have to, we have to scour the word of God to find it.

And that's what we're going to try to do in this little episode. We are going to dive into here today.

So what's our topic? Our topic for today is seeking consolation from God in a troubled time.

Oh, let's pray in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Father, we just thank you again for the access that we have to you, that we can come into your

courts any time because of all that Jesus has accomplished for us. We know you are a good father.

We know you know what you're doing. We know you hold the world and our lives in your hands.

We know that you are just. But we just cry out to you right now for wisdom and for insight.

Help us to see. We pray in a special way that your spirit would be

upon us in this conversation right now as we dive into your word and that it would bring some

consolation to those of us who might be most in need of it right now we ask it all in jesus

is mighty name. Amen.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Father John, before we dive into our conversation, I just feel led just to thank all of our friends who listen

week after week because we just got back from the Archdiocese of Baltimore a set of days ago,

and we just really felt tangibly the prayers from all of you.

So many graces from that time.

They were with Archbishop Lorry and the leaders.

I thought you talked about the seafood.
