Summary
Patrick shares a deeply moving and powerful email from a listener named Sherry from Milwaukee. Sherry recounts her life-changing experience at the National Eucharistic Congress, where she felt Jesus guiding her to take an extraordinary and courageous step. Despite the unimaginable tragedy of losing her daughter and unborn granddaughter in a horrific murder, Sherry feels called to visit the murderer in prison and present him with a Bible, symbolizing the forgiveness etched in Jesus's heart.
