Produced from the grounds of the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, Sparks of Mercy is a conversation about books, words, and God's Word given to us through the Bible, Catholic Tradition, and the created order. Senior Writer/Editor Christopher Sparks interviews Marian Press authors, readers, and just plain faithful folks in order to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us today.
It can be hard enough to forgive small hurts, but how do you forgive a mass shooter who killed your daughter at Sandy Hook? Jennifer Hubbard, whose daughter, Catherine Violet, lost her life in that terrible tragedy, knows from experience. In this conversation, Hubbard discusses how her faith helped her through an unthinkable series of losses, the role our Lord and Our Lady play in her life, and much, much more.

Patrick O’Hearn, coauthor with Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, of The Lamb of God: The Story of Our Lady of Knock talks about the silent message of Knock, the gifts it brought to the people at the time it took place, and the relevance it has for all of us today.
