    God, Why Did You Take Someone I Love

    🙏 GOD, WHY DID YOU TAKE SOMEONE I LOVE? 🎙️ THE QUESTIONS WE ARE AFRAID TO ASK GOD Episode 4 | The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns There's an empty chair at the dinner table. A phone number you can't bring yourself to delete. A voice you wish you could hear just one more time. Losing someone we love is one of life's most painful experiences. And sometimes, in the middle of our grief, we find ourselves asking God a question we're almost afraid to say aloud: "God, why did You take someone I love?" In this deeply personal fourth episode of The Questions We Are Afraid to Ask God, we explore grief, anger, unanswered questions, and the hope our Catholic faith offers through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We'll discover why even Jesus wept at the death of His friend Lazarus, why grieving doesn't mean our faith is weak, and how love continues even after death. ❤️ Grief is not the absence of faith. It is the expression of a love that continues even after death. Join me for this heartfelt 7–8-minute reflection as we remember those we've lost and discover that although death changes our relationships, it cannot erase the love we shared. 🎧 The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns 🙏 Sometimes the questions we're afraid to ask are the very questions that deepen our faith. #TheCatholicJourney #DeaconPatKearns #QuestionsWeAreAfraidToAskGod #CatholicPodcast #GriefAndLoss #CatholicFaith #HopeInChrist #Resurrection #RememberingLovedOnes #FaithAndHope

    God, Are You really Listening to Me

    🙏 GOD, ARE YOU REALLY LISTENING TO ME? 🎙️ THE QUESTIONS WE ARE AFRAID TO ASK GOD Episode 2 | The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns Have you ever prayed with all your heart, begged God for an answer, and heard nothing but silence? Maybe you've prayed for healing, for a struggling marriage, for a child who has lost their faith, or for something in your life that desperately needs to change. And after weeks, months, or even years of waiting, you've wondered: "God, are You really listening to me?" In this second episode of The Questions We Are Afraid to Ask God, we explore why God sometimes seems silent, what Scripture teaches us about unanswered prayers, and how we can continue trusting Him when life doesn't turn out the way we hoped. ❤️ Remember: God's silence does not mean God's absence. Join me for this 7–8-minute reflection as we discover that prayer isn't simply about getting the answers we want. It's about growing closer to the God who already knows our hearts. 🎧 The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns 🙏 Sometimes the questions we're afraid to ask are the very questions that deepen our faith. #TheCatholicJourney #DeaconPatKearns #QuestionsWeAreAfraidToAskGod #CatholicPodcast #UnansweredPrayers #GodsLove #PowerOfPrayer #TrustingGod #CatholicFaith #ChristianHope

    God, Why Do You Allow Good People To Suffer

    🙏 GOD, WHY DO YOU LET GOOD PEOPLE SUFFER? 🎙️ NEW SERIES: THE QUESTIONS WE ARE AFRAID TO ASK GOD Episode 1 | The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns Why does a loving God allow good people to suffer? Why do innocent children become sick, faithful families experience tragedy, and people who have devoted their lives to helping others face unimaginable hardships? It's one of the most difficult questions we can ask God—and one that many of us have struggled with. In this first episode of our powerful new series, The Questions We Are Afraid to Ask God, we explore what Scripture and our Catholic faith teach us about suffering, God's love, and finding hope when life doesn't make sense. ❤️ Here's something worth remembering: God doesn't promise us a life without suffering, but He does promise not to abandon us in it. Join me for this 7–8-minute reflection as we begin a journey of asking the difficult questions that can ultimately bring us closer to God. 🎧 The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns 🙏 Sometimes the questions we're afraid to ask are the very questions that deepen our faith. #TheCatholicJourney #DeaconPatKearns #QuestionsWeAreAfraidToAskGod #CatholicPodcast #FaithAndSuffering #TrustGod #CatholicFaith #ChristianHope #GodsLove

    Three Things Every Father Wishes He Could Teach His Daughter

    ❤️ THREE THINGS EVERY FATHER WISHES HE COULD TEACH HIS DAUGHTER 🎙️ The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns There was a time when a father could hold his little girl in his arms and make her feel safe from the world. But little girls grow up. They begin living their own lives, facing their own struggles, and making their own decisions. And every father eventually realizes that he won't always be there to protect his daughter. So what are the most important lessons he hopes she'll remember? In this heartfelt second episode of our special series on fatherhood, we explore three things every father wishes he could teach his daughter: ❤️ Know your worth. You are beautifully and wonderfully made by God. Never allow someone else to determine your value. 💕 Never settle for a love that diminishes you. Choose relationships built on respect, kindness, faithfulness, and genuine love. 🙏 Have the courage to become the woman God created you to be. Follow your dreams, trust God's plan, and never allow fear to hold you back. And perhaps the most important message a father could ever leave his daughter is this: "You were my little girl for only a few years. But you will be my daughter for all eternity." Whether you're a father, a daughter, or someone remembering a dad who is no longer here, this episode is a beautiful reminder that a father's greatest gift isn't his ability to protect his daughter forever, but the love and faith he leaves in her heart. 🎧 Join Deacon Pat Kearns for this moving reflection on love, faith, family, and the lessons that last a lifetime. #TheCatholicJourney #DeaconPatKearns #FatherAndDaughter #FathersLove #CatholicFaith #FaithAndFamily #Fatherhood #Daughters #ChristianParenting #CatholicPodcast #LegacyOfLove

    ❤️ THREE THINGS EVERY FATHER WISHES HE COULD TEACH HIS SON 🎙️ The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns There comes a time in every father's life when he realizes he won't always be there to guide his son. And he begins to wonder: Have I taught him what really matters? In this heartfelt episode, we explore three powerful lessons every father hopes his son will carry throughout his life: ❤️ Your worth isn't measured by your success, but by the man you become. 💪 Real strength isn't about being tough. It's about having the courage to love, forgive, and show compassion. 🙏 No matter how far life takes you, never forget that God loves you and you can always find your way home to Him. Whether you're a father, a son, or someone remembering the lessons of a father who has passed away, this episode is a reminder that the greatest legacy a father leaves isn't what he owns, but the love, faith, and example he leaves behind. 🎧 Join Deacon Pat Kearns for this meaningful reflection on fatherhood, faith, and the lessons that last a lifetime.

    LA ESCUELA BAJO EL ÁRBOL — UNA CANCIÓN PARA NUESTRO QUERIDO BETO

    ❤️🇬🇹 LA ESCUELA BAJO EL ÁRBOL — UNA CANCIÓN PARA NUESTRO QUERIDO BETO ❤️ Hace muchos años, en la pequeña comunidad de Godínez, Guatemala, unos campesinos le pidieron a un maestro llamado Beto que abriera una escuela para que sus hijos tuvieran un futuro mejor. Beto no tenía dinero, ni edificio, ni recursos. Pero tenía algo mucho más grande: una fe profunda en Dios y un corazón dispuesto a servir. Después de orar, decidió decirle SÍ a Dios y comenzó a enseñar a los niños bajo la sombra de un árbol. Con los años, aquel pequeño sueño se convirtió en una escuela que hoy lleva su nombre y continúa transformando vidas. 🙏 Hoy, nuestro querido Beto necesita de nosotros. Recientemente sufrió un derrame cerebral y ahora necesita un marcapasos, medicamentos y tratamientos médicos. Su familia no cuenta con los recursos económicos para cubrir todos estos gastos. Mi esposa Liz y yo tuvimos la bendición de vivir con Beto y su esposa Ruth durante nuestro año en Guatemala. Su amistad, generosidad y ejemplo de fe dejaron una huella profunda en nuestros corazones. 🎶 Escribí esta canción, "La Escuela Bajo el Árbol", como un homenaje a este hombre extraordinario. Durante tantos años, Beto ayudó a los demás. Hoy nos toca a nosotros ayudarlo a él. ❤️ Si muchas personas aportamos aunque sea un poquito, juntos podemos hacer una gran diferencia. Por favor, escuchen esta canción, compártanla, oren por Beto y, si les es posible, hagan una donación. 🙏 Pueden ayudar aquí: https://gofund.me/44a4cd19e Todo comenzó bajo un árbol, con un maestro que tuvo fe. Hoy podemos demostrarle que las semillas de amor que sembró siguen dando fruto. Con cariño y gratitud, Diácono Pat Kearns The Catholic Journey #AyudemosABeto #SanLucasTolimán #Godínez #Guatemala #FeEnAcción #AmorAlPrójimo #LaEscuelaBajoElÁrbol
