Israel Strikes Lebanon, Bishop on Suicide Prevention

Israel Strikes Lebanon, Bishop on Suicide Prevention

Author: EWTN September 28, 2024 Duration: 57:54
Israel’s recent airstrikes in Lebanon are the deadliest in decades – as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise, we speak with former U.S. diplomat Alberto Fernandez on whether the conflict may soon escalate into a broader war. Correspondent Mark Irons takes us to southern Florida where politicians on both sides of the aisle have found common ground: saving the Everglades. Bishop John Dolan of Phoenix opens up about losing three siblings to suicide and the need for mental health ministry in the Church, as National Suicide Prevention Month comes to a close. Archbishop Andrew Nkea of Cameroon sits down with Montse Alvarado to discuss his candid thoughts and hopes for the upcoming October Synod on Synodality meetings in Rome. And ahead of St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s feast day - we introduce you to singer-songwriter Marie Miller, whose latest album was inspired by The Little Flower.
