How To Find Peace in the Storm, with Maureen Pratt

About this episode

Bishop Frank Caggiano and Maureen Pratt discuss finding peace amidst chronic illness and suffering.

In the midst of chronic illness and suffering, whether we're going through it or we're accompanying a loved one, Bishop Frank Caggiano reminds us that "only God has the full perspective. For me, to be cured is a good... but it may not be the ultimate good." Maureen Pratt has faced down a lifelong chronic illness, and The Peace In The Storm Project was born out of her experiences. She joins Bishop Frank to talk about facing difficulties with faith, the epidemic of loneliness, why Pope Francis gave her a thumbs-up, and more. Maureen will be at St Aloysius in New Canaan on April 16th if you'd like to hear more from her and meet her in person.
