Welcome back to Franciscan Fridays at the Blue Army Shrine with Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher and Br. Pius Gagne! In Episode 5, we tackle a wide range of topics—from the AI-generated Pope Leo controversy to the deep theological virtue of hope in a world obsessed with instant gratification.

💬 We reflect on: Fake AI sermons and the need for spiritual discernment Sports hope: Knicks vs. Pacers, Nova Knicks, and Reggie Miller memories The Van Gogh painting Sower at Sunset and Pope Leo's insights The spiritual power of songs like Tomorrow from Annie and Over the Rainbow The miracle of the sun at Fatima and childlike hope that anchors us in Christ Join us as we mix laughter, sports, spiritual insights, and Catholic hope into one inspiring conversation—reminding us all that "the sun will come out tomorrow", and the Son has already risen.
