Summary

Fr. Josh answers questions about how to properly use sacramentals and how to grow in relationship with God when prayer is tough.

Snippet From the Show

“Catholics sometimes approach sacramentals as if they are magic or having power in and of themselves, instead of approaching them as instruments of grace.”
