In this week's episode, Lori revisits an episode when she was joined by Father Donald Haggerty, a Priest at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, who wrote the book, "The Hour of Testing" Spiritual Depth and Insight in a Time of Ecclesial Uncertainty. This episode and book help convey the seriousness & urgency of getting our lives aligned with God, as soon as possible, to prepare ourselves for the second coming of Christ.

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 Father Haggerty's Book: "The Hour of Testing":
