In this episode, Jonah and Patrick take up the question of mercy.  After looking from many different angles at how our pain and suffering can become holy places of learning, growing and maturing - even blessing - it feels important to look to understand what comes into our lives that brings us rest, healing and life.  The conversation moves into how this is connected to the faith of Christ - his faith in us  - and lands, ultimately, in the practice of the 'Eucharist'.  This core Christian practice of gratitude is what unites us with the deepest truth of reality: the grace in which we live.
