Travelers Along the Way

In a series of always moving, sometimes surprising, and occasionally hilarious stories, Fr. Benedict Groeschel introduces you to the men and women who have influenced him over the course of his life. Some are unknown, such as Mr. Graff, a Jewish man who tailored the suit the young Groeschel would wear to the seminary: "e;Look, I don't understand about monasteries, but I'll give you a piece of advice. Be a good boy."e; Some are famous, such as Mother Teresa, Cardinal John O'Connor, and Fr. Solanus Casey who once, in Fr. Benedict's presence, stepped unprotected into a swarm of angry bees, pulled out his harmonica, and played "e;Mother Machree"e; to calm them. Their stories will not only inspire you, but also help you appreciate those who have enriched and deepened your own life.
