Today's episode is special to me for two reasons.

1. I first set foot in St. Luke's Byzantine Catholic Church exactly 6 years ago.

2. Today's Gospel reading is my story of how I came back home to the Church.

Sorry I took so long getting this posted. I wanted to do my best. A many thanks to the 150 listeners who pray with me each day in this unique and special way.
