Courage in the Cross

Father Michael O'Loughlin and Mother Natalia
About this episode

This week Fr. Michael reflects on the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. In this feast, we shower the cross in the church with flowers to show the significance and importance of the feast. Fr. Michael talks about the need for us to look at our personal crosses with this same sort of significance and reverence.

Plus we've got a mini-topic this week on dating.
