Berrigan gives advice to the next generation of activists
As a younger person interested in trying to live a life of witness to the Gospel, there are some experienced heroes and heroines I would love the chance to talk with - to hear their stories and advice for ways to make it through the hard times.

Here's my favorite snippet from Berrigan:
