On this episode of Catholic Forum, after a news update from The Dialog, we talk with author, Joe McGivney about his book, "YOU'RE A MIRACLE!: My Story of Alcoholism, Miraculous Healing, and God's Infinite Power and Love." Joe McGivney is an active member of the Knights of Columbus, an organization that was founded by his distant relative, Father Michael McGivney. So when Joe became desperately ill in 2020, it is only logical that one of his beloved relatives pray for Blessed Michael McGivney’s intersession. His book is a thrilling story that follows Joe from the depths of derangement to the heights of true and lasting joy, a joy that is open to all.
