Ep 301Answering Listener Questions + Bishop's Easter Reflection
Happy Easter! Alleluia! We are in the octave of Easter and just at the start of the 50-day Easter season! We celebrate this joyous season with some fun... opening up the mailbag so Bishop Frank can answer listener questions, like: ...where was the Garden of Eden? ...has there been a recurring theme in your homilies throughout your priesthood? ...what is the protocol for meeting a pope? ...what are the signs of possession? Bishop Frank says that Easter is like a diamond with many different facets. This year, he is focusing on hope.

Ep 300How To Find Peace in the Storm, with Maureen Pratt
In the midst of chronic illness and suffering, whether we're going through it or we're accompanying a loved one, Bishop Frank Caggiano reminds us that "only God has the full perspective. For me, to be cured is a good... but it may not be the ultimate good." Maureen Pratt has faced down a lifelong chronic illness, and The Peace In The Storm Project was born out of her experiences. She joins Bishop Frank to talk about facing difficulties with faith, the epidemic of loneliness, why Pope Francis gave her a thumbs-up, and more. Maureen will be at St Aloysius in New Canaan on April 16th if you'd like to hear more from her and meet her in person.

Ep 299Remaining in the Waiting Room, with Mike Carlon
"Death is not a lightswitch. It's a process; it happens in stages." That was the theme of Bishop Frank Caggiano's conversation with Mike Carlon. Mike wrote The Waiting Room, a novel about two families who are in the hospital with their dying loved ones on Christmas Eve. After losing both his brother and his mother in the course of 13 months, Mike woke up in the middle of the night and began writing this book. Bishop Frank & Mike dive deep in to many topics, including: ...how do we confront and handle the end of life of a loved one? ...where are the dead, and what is the veil that separates the living and the dead? ...what are the stages of the process of death? ...how is an author born, and how do you tell a good story?

Ep 298Jason Trennert on Faith, Culture, and Overcoming Adversity
"You think, if you live your life well, that you'll be absolved of any suffering... What was God up to in all of this?" One year ago, Jason Trennert, much sought-after investment strategist, found himself in his own Garden of Gethsemane. Two weeks after being offered a post in the Treasury Department, he found himself in a brutal fight against cancer... even losing his ability to walk. In a candid conversation with Bishop Frank Caggiano, Jason shares how his faith, family, and his career, were reshaped by this life-altering event. Jason joins Bishop Frank to talk about building a career on Wall Street, starting his own company, sickness & faith, and fighting the good fight.

Ep 297To Die Well: the Reality of Death During Lent, with Dr. Stephen Doran
We will all have some experience with death. That reality is especially poignant during Lent. Bishop Caggiano speaks with Stephen Doran, a neurosurgeon and Catholic deacon who has written a tremendous book (especially good to pick up for the next few weeks of Lent) called To Die Well. Some of the things they discuss include: ...what, actually, is death? ...how can we prepare for death (our own and our loved ones')? ...how does living well prepare us for, and lead us to, dying well? ...what difference does a doctor's spiritual life make in the care he or she provides? By the way, we are blessed, in the Diocese of Bridgeport, to have the St Luke's Guild to strengthen and edify and provide community for healthcare professionals.
