This Past Week #6 | Living as Saints, Sharing the Gospel, and the Power of Scripture

Hey Everybody! It's Fr. Edward

In this episode of This Past Week, Fr. Edward Looney reflects on the inspiring life of Joe Reali, a young man from New York who passed away at 25 and is remembered for his holiness—could he one day be a saint? Fr. Looney shares how Joe’s life challenges us to live as saints now and boldly share our faith. He also explores a powerful insight from St. Bernard of Clairvaux’s Sermons on the Song of Songs, encouraging us to dive deeper into Scripture. Additionally, he discusses his recent academic paper and upcoming X (Twitter) Space presentation, and he shares thoughts on No Address, a new film addressing the issue of homelessness. Join Fr. Looney for a thought-provoking discussion on faith, holiness, and the call to live and share the Gospel!
