Janet - Person who I find joy from...Right after Vatican 2, she helped prepare laity what sisters couldn't help with. Did it so peacefully. Loved to talk about the Lord and catechesis.
(24:32) Angelo - Dealing with mother who has dementia. Trying to find joy in this. Looking for some inspiration. It's been difficult.
(33:05) Matt - My dad's side is from Denmark. Grandffather had a tough life. settled in small town. A lot of these people have had difficult lives. When you struggle and suffer with Christ, you find great joy and community and unity. It's a beautiful thing.

(37:42) Break 2
Ann - When I was doing work with husband in the missions, we met a lady who made a pie, so kind and sweet. One day, I went to her house and I noticed how messy her house was. I found out later she suffered from back problems. She was always doing such good things for others. I felt bad for being judgmental. She radiated Christ.
