other words, recorded homilies and talks I’ve given in different places – has been helping a lot of people. It gets a fair amount of traffic - of listeners from all over the world

- and I met a young couple in England whose life was dramatically changed by a talk they listened to on the Digital Audio Deli. I was overwhelmed by the impact that they shared with me and the significant change in their life that was the result of that. Thanks be to God !!!

What’s the story behind Francesco Ghetto Designs Tee Shirts?

The story behind Francesco Ghetto Designs tee shirts is that it helps the young man who is painting them. They’re all hand-painted, airbrushed tee shirts. And while on the one hand, they are a means of evangelizing, on the other hand they are a means of restoring the dignity and increasing the levels of responsibility of the very talented young man who is painting them. The money from the sales of these shirts is helping Steven, an 18 year old artist, support his girlfriend who is 15 years old and their 4 week old baby.

Many of your audiences are young, and there are many people wondering about the future of the Church. What qualities do you see in the young Church, and what future might they bring?

A quality I see in the young Church is a hunger for truth and this is largely due to the influence of JPII whose passion for truth was immeasurable. As a result of that, the future of the Church will have greater potential to be a more authentically free Church – free to be committed to the Gospel and free to love with a love that will increase quality of life and help to build the civilization of love.
