In this week's episode, Lori is joined by Father Donald Haggerty.  He is a Priest at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and Author of the book, "The Hour of Testing" Spiritual Depth and Insight in a Time of Ecclesial Uncertainty. 

This powerful book explores what it means to pursue holiness seriously in the 21st century, being sanctified in and through the Church's present-- or perhaps still impending--"hour of testing".

To order the book: https://ignatius.com/the-hour-of-testing-htp/
