“The Spiritual Life” host James Martin, S.J., talks to Mary Karr, author of New York Times best-selling memoirs The Liars' Club, Cherry, and Lit, as well as the Art of Memoir, and five poetry collections, most recently Tropic of Squalor.
Mary Karr shares:
How her son and a humble parish priest impacted her conversion to the Catholic faith
Her experience doing the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and coming to know both the depths of her own sinfulness and the abiding love of God
Her encounters of extraordinary grace at Mass, on the subway, and in ordinary life.
