Our Hopeful Poverty

Father Michael O'Loughlin and Mother Natalia
About this episode

This week Fr. Michael talks about the poverty we find ourselves in and how it can be attractive to others. He uses the stories of Photina, St. Moses the Black, and Mary Magdalene to show how each of them embraced some level of poverty, ultimately bringing Jesus to others.
