On the Dec. 20 episode of Catholic Review Radio, Christopher Gunty interviews Father John Catoir, the longtime host of the TV show, “Christopher Closeup.”

Father Catoir, designated by Pope John Paul II as a “Messenger of Joy,” talks about the joy that comes from Jesus, and how to make it more present in your life. We also hear from the choirs at St. Joseph Parish in Cockeysville, with a hymn about Christ’s peace, “Dona Nobis Pacem.”

Listen to the full show below.
