| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to you were born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo and Mary Guilfoyle. |
| 0:05.8 | We are a couple of missionaries of Acts 29, and this is the podcast where we talk about how acquiring a biblical worldview brings us great hope in the God who created and rescued this world in order that you and I can be agents of transformation and recreation. Mary, we're talking literally into a suitcase. |
| 0:26.6 | So if the sound quality sounds bad, that's why we've got, we're out on mission in the Diocese of Orange working with the priests this week. |

| 1:31.2 | But we're remembering everybody at Mass today, especially our homeless brothers and |
| 1:36.4 | sisters who are trying to find shelter and all those who are going without the things |
