(4:31) What is the role of Mothers in the family today?
Where do we see sacrificial element of Motherhood in the scripture?
(12:14) Rose - My mom was the best. When my mom passed recently, we didn't cry but she was a very devout Catholic. Do you think she prayed we would be at peace? What do you think? Could we be receiving those graces now?
(17:05) Barbara – My mother did so much for me. When I was little she taught me all of my prayers and I learned the Benediction songs. My mom hired a special nurse to be with me when I was in the hospital since she could not be there.

(20:48) Break 1
(22:46) Katie - Embracing the vocation of motherhood: I am holding my baby now. He is our first. I don't think you can appreciate motherhood until you become a mother. Motherhood is counter cultural.

Restlessness of saint Augustine.
Pope Leo’s role as a leader before being pope.
(19:00) Rosa - I am so blessed. I'm 85 years old. I want to say we have a man of God. He tells the truth and that's what we all need to set us free. Loving kind.

(20:32) Break 1
Clay - Wonderful we have an American Pope. I met Fr. Tom. I'm a convert to the faith.
(24:49) Sandy - I admire the fact that he made it clear that he's not a political leader, he's a religious leader seeking peace at all costs.
(32:32) Joseph - My experience...I'm a diesel mechanic. We had a tv in the shop at the time. Waiting for the shop. Saw smoke when it happened.

Father Michael-Joseph Paris joins Patrick to discuss Silence
(4:15) no time for silence and wide is it so important?
(12:53) Why is silence difficult for us to enter into sometimes?
(16:26) Agnes - What is a suggestion for a teacher or mother with a house full of kids? How does she find silence in the middle of all that noise?

(19:26) Break 1
(21:13) Visual Noise
(24:36) Sonya - Last week, that quiet voice said come down to the lake (here in Maine). I heard the voice again asking me to come to the lake. Later, the voice said 'now.' I went down to the lake and all quiet around. Sat there for 10 minutes and told God I was there. He told me 'Be still and know that I am God.' Saw the stillness of the winter beauty and lost myself in His presence. I was running from being busy for so long.
(29:49) Kathy - I've been to silent retreats before. I brought books and stuff. Went to dinner and it was like all were mad at each other because nobody was talking. I worked in schools and son and friends would come over. Told kids to go outside while I had my coffee. Mom used to get up early. Have to arrange time for it.
Email – Mary keeps the radio off while driving.
(36:53) Marie - Go to the woods. Find a tree, bush, flower, listen to a bird. Just check out and be in nature...He is there.

(39:02) Break 2
(40:29) Michelle - It is so precious. Adoration chapel...people wonder what should they do when they're there. Just present yourself to the Lord. With me, it's hiking in the woods. Get tired enough to sit down and breathe and listen to mother nature. I need nature to bring the sense of awe.
(45:15) What is Mental prayer?
Matt - The silence that people have is something I strive for. This show has been really helpful to get to that.
