This is a story of one of my favorite encounters on pilgrimage in Ireland.  It is my great pleasure to share this tale with you in this form.  This episode is a bit longer at 14 minutes than usual, but it's more produced and carries a beautiful message to us at this Christmas time!  

In this podcast, Joe O'Connell says these words (just in case you couldn't understand his brogue) 

"People get very fond of sheep.  They're not the most profitable business in agriculture. But the people who have them, just can't leave 'em."
