We all crave peace. But what happens when prayer feels dry, life doesn't match your plans, and discouragement sets in? In this powerful conversation, Fr Timothy Gallagher shares insights from his new book, 'If You Want Peace in This Life,' revealing how the wisdom of Venerable Bruno Lanteri can guide us through our struggles. He emphasizes that temptations are not bad; they are opportunities for growth and virtue. Father Gallagher encourages us to embrace our circumstances and find peace, even amidst challenges. This discussion is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed or discouraged. Remember, it's never too late to begin again, and peace is always within reach. Join us on this journey towards understanding and embracing the peace we all long for.
