| 0:04.7 | We were praying a live rosary on Monday. A lot of us traveling for Easter, but of course, all we |
| 0:08.9 | have been able to think about is the passing of Pope Francis. And I think the value I'd hope we can |
| 0:14.7 | provide here as Catholics for this episode, for those maybe who have never tuned in before. |
| 0:19.7 | I want to go over the legacy, |
