As Mike Hayes and Father Damian Ference recount, there's something about an eclipse that brings both wonder and joy. The recent night sky's ballet was no different, and as it cast a surreal glow, they found themselves surrounded by friends, absorbed in the spellbinding moment.  This episode takes you through their weekend journey, ending with the prayerful peak of the eclipse and the vibrant Believeland retreat with young adults, where laughter and serenity mingled. FD also shared the deep privilege of witnessing a sacred ordination at the University of Notre Dame.

Venture further with us as we tackle the concept of purgatory, a theme poignantly depicted at the end of the film "St Vincent."  FD also discusses a comforting dream that provided solace after recalling the loss of a mentor.   

We go to Sacred Heart Chapel in Lorain for Church Search this week.

And as the Third Sunday of Easter approaches, we examine one of the Gospel of Luke's accounts of Jesus' resurrection.

Join us to connect these spiritual reflections with the tranquility of the eclipse – an event that not only stirred excitement but also had a surprising calming effect on Mike's pet.
