The Restless Hearts Podcast, hosted by Fr. Ray Dlugos, O.S.A., vice president of mission and ministry at Merrimack College, presents spiritual reflections and conversations about our journey together as human beings. It is inspired by the Augustinian Catholic tradition of understanding the human as both tempted to a life of inauthenticity, but also restless for a heart full of gratitude, humility, compassion, generosity, and love.
