Why you (yes, you) should go on a retreat Ep. 111

If you’ve never been on a retreat—or if you have—this week’s guest
is perfect for you. Father Joe Laramie is a Jesuit and campus
minister. For years, Father Joe has been giving retreats, and this
year, he published Abide in the Heart of Christ: A 10-day personal
retreat with St. Ignatius Loyola. The book uses the Spiritual
Exercises to “help in the formation of your heart according to
Christ.”  We talk with Father Joe about the Spiritual
Exercises, Ignatian retreats versus other retreats and what this
ministry has taught him. In Signs of the Times, we recap Pope
Francis’ recent trip to sub-Saharan Africa, including comments he
made during his papal flights; Cardinal Joseph Tobin and Catholics
protesting immigration in New Jersey; the new archbishop of
Seattle; Pope Francis getting stuck in an elevator—for 25 minutes;
and finally, our thoughts on the new trailer for “The Two Popes,” a
film starring Anthony Hopkins as Pope Benedict and Jonathan Pryce
as Pope Francis.  Feel free to send us your questions,
