We all struggle to fill our lives with meaning. Some search for satisfaction from success, comfort, or independence, though these things often fail to fill our “existential vacuum.”
Bishop James Ruggieri invites listeners to consider a deeper question: Why do we feel so empty? What are we really living for?
This episode explores how the Catholic Church—through its sacraments, community, and tradition—offers not just beliefs, but a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether you’re devout, doubtful, or somewhere in between, this is a thoughtful reflection on meaning, mercy, and the kind of love that doesn’t leave us where we are.
