Episode 17: Fr. Peter Marshall

Fr. Peter Marshall is the pastor of St. Jude Catholic Parish on the south side of Indianapolis. Before entering the priesthood, Fr. Peter worked for many years as a therapist and social worker. He has been a friend of mine for nearly 20 years, and is he someone I seek out for advice and spiritual insights on a regular basis. I was excited to record this recent conversation of ours, in which we reflect on the past year of COVID-19. Fr. Peter always helps me and others look at things from different angles and perspectives. In this conversation, he encourages people to look at not only the pain and loss of the past year, but at the blessings and gifts which are often hidden to us (certainly to me, speaking for myself). When we look back on this tumultuous year in 10 years, 20 years, or even further in the future, maybe there are benefits, societal and spiritual, that are not obvious to us at present?
