The intercession of holy men and women on the road to sainthood is powerful. Today's episode features one of those stories. Fr. Edward speaks with Joe and Nicole McGivney about Joe's healing from alcoholism through Blessed Michael McGivney's intercession. Joe is a distant relative of Blessed Michael and I'm sure that gave him all the more reason to intercede before the throne of God for Joe's healing.
