Episode 15
In Person with Andreas Widmer
00m 00s
Father Dave asks entrepreneur Andreas Widmer about his work as a Swiss Guard protecting Pope John Paul II, and his stories reveal the pope’s very personal ministry, the power of love and respect, and the influence of a tiny nun named Mother Teresa. The two also discuss how Andreas’ disastrous business loss became a moment of grace, his call to “go back into the boardroom to evangelize,” and how work itself can be a path to holiness.
