    Thank you so much for the podcast and especailly for this episode. I honestly play it at least once a week. The podcast so often connects me with my Jesuit college days at Santa Clara University and my mentor Father Francis Smith (my his memory be a blessing) who introduced me to Sobrina and Gutierrez.

I have been moved to a lifetime of action through a deeper understanding of Christ in His preferential option of the poor. This podcast refreshes my understanding and moves me to deeper reflection and action. Thank you.
