Summary

Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer discusses the importance of specific prayers and their ability to guide our actions and bring about peace. We tackle the challenge of forgiveness and the struggle to let go of control, and whether or not to meet with someone who has caused deep wounds. Fr. Matthew patiently and gently talks with callers as he encourages them to trust in God's will even when it differs from their own desires.

Oct. 17 is day of prayer, fasting for peace in Holy Land
Beth - My dad had an affair and fathered a child. This child now has reached out to us and wants to meet with us. What should I do?
(20:36) Cyrus shares the story of reaching out to the father he never knew and through forgiveness how a relationship between father and son was born
Kevin - Is prayer stronger if its more specific?
Barry - How do you explain that we Catholics are not cannibals when we eat Jesus in the Eucharist?
Molly (46:16) - The young students in my faith formation are wondering if people are in hell yet?

1:00.0	killed over a thousand people took hostage over over a hundred people it's just it's
1:08.4	terrible and the response it so difficult, diplomatically,
1:15.0	politically, militarily, militarily. You know, I think all of us have felt a little, a little
1:24.1	powerless, a little uncertain about what to do. even Pope Francis. What was it? The next day,
1:31.6	I believe. So it was October 7th that all of this erupted. It was October 8th that Netanyahu
1:40.5	declared war, and then of course would form a unity government and try to come up with some response.

2:09.6	happening in Israel, where the violence has exploded even more ferociously.
2:16.4	May the attacks and weapon cease.
2:18.9	Please, please, please, he said.
