Summary

In this episode for All Souls Day, Fr. John invites Mary to share her experience of standing at the entrance of the valley of death, and what it was that gave her strength at that time. They then invite us to ask ourselves if we know the Good Shepherd, and what we’re going to do today to get ready for the day of our death.
