About the show

To reveal the rich and life-changing mystical tradition of the Catholic Church - this is my passion and the purpose of this channel. Every renewal in the Catholic Church has come through authentic encounters with people who desire to know God and who seek Him in prayer and the interior life. One challenge is that much of what is publically available is either not orthodox, and/or is mixed with non-Christian Eastern spirituality. Our aim here is to draw from the pure well of Catholic tradition - the only safe and truly transformative water of life.
