In this special episode, “Please Pray for Me”—named in honor of the late Pope Francis—we reflect on his legacy of humility and his constant invitation to prayer. We explore the deep power of prayer, drawing inspiration from Thomas Merton, and discuss how true listening can itself be a sacred act of prayer.

Our conversation moves through themes of trust, decision-making, and the openness to possibility as paths to personal and spiritual growth. We share personal stories around health challenges, navigating relationships with adult children, letting go of control, and learning to trust divine timing.

Through suffering, surrender, and the courage to not judge our experiences, we find meaning in the journey. The episode concludes with group prayers and the reading of written prayer requests from our community.

A heartfelt and faith-filled episode to remind us: we are never alone.
