As the Crisis Cast closes out our fourth season, we enter the winter solstice with an abundance of light.  During this episode Lissa & Thom welcome Father Richard Fragomeni, who shares T.S. Eliot's final poem on Christmas.  The Cultivation of Christmas Trees is a poem that challenges the reader to rediscover the wonder of a child.

During this episode, Father Fragomeni also explores our crisis of community, and the hope he finds in teaching a DePaul University course on loneliness.  Fr. Richard Fragomeni is Rector at the Shrine of our Lady of Pompeii.
