In this episode, we speak with Edward Desker, the nephew of the late Andrzej Maria Cardinal Deskur, the latter of whom was a confidante and close collaborator of Pope Saint John Paul II.Edward recounts many memories of his late Uncle’s Faith-Life, offering insights into the theology of suffering, freedom in forgiveness, and the silent power of hidden sacrifice. The conversation also explores Poland’s Catholic identity, rooted in fervent Marian devotion expressed in the motto: ‘Totus Tuus’, the role of beauty & sacred art, and evangelisation.This episode offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the spiritual legacy of a Cardinal whose influence was shaped not by public prominence, but by fidelity, humility, and love for Holy Mother Church.
