Listen Later

In today's A Closer Look Episode, Margaret Cronin discusses the importance of leisure for women, especially during times of uncertainty and unrest. Leisure is different from rest and entertainment, and it allows us to give our full attention to the beloved, whether it be a friend or God. Margaret emphasizes the need for women to take time for themselves and engage in activities that bring peace and restoration.
