Episode Details

We begin today’s episode with a moment of reverence and gratitude for Pope Francis. As the world mourns his death, we remember his unwavering dedication to the Church, the poor, migrants, and the environment, his witness of humility, and his call for mercy and justice. Today, we carry his legacy in prayer and purpose. Now more than ever, we are called to be people of hope. Hope is not a vague wish or sunny optimism. It’s not about looking away from pain or pretending everything’s fine. No, hope is gritty. Hope—real hope—is contagious—an infection of well-being. If we choose to practice resurrection, it will ripple outward for the salvation of the world. And resurrection? It’s not just a mystery about the future—it's relentless about calling us to live differently in the present. Christ’s resurrection happened once, for all time. But Easter isn’t a date we flip to on the calendar. It’s a spirituality—a daily way of being. There has never been a resurrection without a walk through the cemetery. If you’ve known grief, been broken open, stood at the edge of something you thought might destroy you, then you’ve also stood at the doorway of resurrection. And with hope, you don’t just believe in it. You live it now. In today’s episode, Father Ed Foley asks us to be a people of hope, not someday but now.
