Omar Aguilar joins the BeatiDudes this week, and he opens by admitting he used to be an atheist.

Omar now hosts Perspectiva Católica for EWTN and leads Hispanic faith formation for the Knights of Columbus, but he tells Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein exactly how he got there. It runs through a Eucharistic adoration night he almost walked out of, a night he came home high at sunrise to find his wife sitting with their one-month-old daughter, and a confession where the priest cut through years of overthinking with one line: "Is Jesus's mercy not enough?" Along the way there's a Mother Angelica story, an 85 percent chance you get stuck on the tarmac, and a hard truth about how God is, in Omar's words, "the worst economist in the world."

This conversation lands exactly where it should: mercy is not something you earn, it's something you receive.
