This week, Fr. Josh answers questions on the Rapture, confessions, working for the church, and Marvel superheroes.
Snippet From the Show
When dealing with very messy members of the body of Christ, lean into a closer relationship with St. John of the Cross. He abided with a difficult community who didn’t like him and even imprisoned him!

Discouraged while working for the Church (3:37)
How do I overcome feeling discouraged working for the Church? I know God is calling me to work for Him, yet I get so discouraged due to the cliques and power struggles that often occur with those at the administrative level in my parish.

Fr. Josh Johnson
While Fr. Josh was raised Catholic, he didn’t like the Church growing up. One day, in adoration, he fell in love with Jesus and received the call to become a priest. Now, Fr. Josh is the pastor for Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Louisiana, and he is a presenter in two of Ascension’s programs: Altaration, and YOU: Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body. He is the author of Broken and Blessed: An Invitation to My Generation and Pocket Guide to Adoration.
I wanted to ask for the source of Pope Benedict’s comment about St Catherine Laboure. I have been unable to find it.
