Episode Description

Does taking manners and courtesy seriously mean that we are taking OURSELVES too seriously? What if common acts of courtesy are the way to practice and renew our recognition of the most important reality: that we are persons in relationship with other persons? JonMarc and Teresa discuss manners, being present, objectifying vs personifying other people, and how all this connects with our ability to pray and practice the presence of God.
