Joseph McCloskey: My name is Joseph McCloskey, I am Jesuit, a Catholic priest Jesuit isn't that special something different for the catholic priest. The Jesuit, is someone who had to go to school longer than most other people go to school and hopefully what I am going to be sharing with you today will be prayer and the prayer for me has been such a integral and the essential part of my life of over the years that it's something, I am very excited about and that I have chance to give people confidence in their prayer and to help them to be open to wonder of how God can communicate and how one can communicate with the lord and that would be my hope for this video that we are doing together.
