Gus plays a clip from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, where the liberal host, who is staunchly atheist and pro-choice, talks about the pro-choice position on abortion and admits that it is murder and he’s OK with that. Gus talks about how, even though he’s the total opposite of Maher on abortion, it’s refreshing to hear somebody be honest about it and say the quiet part out loud. He opens up the phones for listener comments.
Also, Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB calls in to discuss his new book, “The Hidden Power of Silence in the Mass: A Guide for Encountering Christ in the Liturgy,” available from Sophia Insitute Press. In it, Fr. Boniface talks about how the best way to hear God speak to us is in silent prayer and teaches readers how to quiet your mind, stretch your heart and become childlike in the sense of experiencing the sacred mysteries with wonder and awe.
Afterwards, Gus invites listeners to call in and share a time they had a profound experience during mass.
