He connects the readings from Sirach, 2 Timothy, and the Gospel of Luke (Pharisee and Tax Collector) to Pope Francis's call to respond to the needs of the poor. This "A Word of Hope" invites viewers to examine how they hear and respond to the cries of the poor in their lives and to depend totally on God's mercy.
