Patrick shares a moving story about the Amish lending hands in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, expands on their traditions and roots, and invites listeners into a swirl of candid faith questions. He fields calls ranging from the hurdles foreign priests face to the trickiness of family support at interfaith weddings, circling around to a child’s simple but profound wonderings about God’s presence everywhere and the mystery of the Trinity. Inside every exchange and reflection, Patrick draws out what it means to live Catholic faith in the mess and beauty of ordinary days.
