#109: "Priest and Beggar" The Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius  Schwartz with author Kevin Wells

Author Kevin Wells experienced his own spiritual transformation while writing this most important and inspiring book.  Tune in as Kevin joins Jack to share this amazing story.

...1957, at twenty-seven years old, Father Aloysius Schwartz of Washington, D.C., asked to be sent to one of the saddest places in the world: South Korea in the wake of the Korean War. Just a few months into his priesthood, he stepped off the train in Seoul into a dystopian film. Squatters with blank stares picked through hills of garbage. Paper-fleshed orphans lay on the streets like leftover war shrapnel. the scenes pierced him (from the front jacket).
