Episode # 1758 - Rise Above The Conflicts

Due to Producer Nick being away on vacation this weekend and leaving Friday and scheduling conflicts, this is a re-air from August 18th, 2017 and will officailly air tomorrow, August 25th 2017.  Thank you.  

TGIF and Father Anthony quickly makes his way on the show today, due to not sure if he'd be able to do the show today, but does/did and he's happy to be back with us all, after his recent trip for his continuing treatments in Rochester, which he is doing very well with and recovering very well too.  However, due to the recent tragedies that have struck around the world; shootings in Charlottesville, the van crash in Barcelona, and others that have occurred, both past and present, Father Anthony mentions what the signs of the times are, how there is much bigotry, racism, and violence going on around us.  This allows Father Anthony to look at these a bit deeper in terms of how things are the way they are, possibly due to media "blowing them up" in ways to get our attention.  It also has Father Anthony bring up how going through all these tragedies, past and present, it has him talking about progress, that is we have to "Rise above the conflicts," as well as move on from them, meaning and in terms of to show no weakness and fear and that even though we are a sinful people at times, we still can turn to God and have the ability to trust Him and help with our values and faith.  From his recent trip to Rochester, Father Anthony relates how caring the people were there, not just to him but everyone and reminds us that we need to show care and feelings toward one another in these times of violence raised by various groups, gangs, and terrorists.
