Gus is joined by singer-songwriter Stephen Becker, the man behind the sophistipop group, Le Concorde, who just released a new song called “Corpus Christi.” It's a song of miraculous signs, geographical entanglements and the soon-to-be patron saint of the internet, Blessed Carlo Acutis. Stephen talks about his faith, his inspirations and the story behind the new song.
Also, Gus gives an update on Pope Francis’ health condition, which appears to be improving. He is, however, on Day 20 of his stay at Gemelli Hospital in Rome with no end in sight. Gus invites listeners to call in if they’ve ever had a long hospital stay and how that affected them spiritually.
Gus also continues his daily Lenten practice of reading and reflecting from Thomas a Kempis' 15th century spiritual classic, "Imitation of Christ." Later he's joined by Bob Dunning, and he and Gus discuss their Ash Wednesday experiences yesterday and what they ate since it was a day of fast and abstinence. Bob talks about growing up during the period where every Friday of the year was a day of abstinence, which means Catholics aren’t supposed to eat meat. Afterwards, they talk about Lenten meals growing up.
