What's it mean to love like Jesus?
It's not easy for us, but it's not impossible either. And there are people in our lives to show us the way.
-
Are we meant to live alone?
The short answer - no! We are all connected to one another - like a great vine, and when we recognize that reality, we can accomplish great things.
-
Who is your good shepherd>
Or maybe it is you who is called to be a good shepherd for others!
-
Does your faith excite you?
To be truthful, maybe it doesn't - but we need to figure out how to do that - and then share it. This is vital stuff. If we want to stop the exodus of people from our Church, we have got to get excited - and then share it with others - everyone - start with our families - but don't let it stop there.
-
Is Jesus here yet?
Today we reflect on this question of Saint Thomas the Apostle. And we can ask the same things of ourselves - is Jesus here yet, in our own lives, and if so, can people see Jesus at work in our lives?

A gem!
Absolutely wonderful! Fr. Patrick’s vulnerable storytelling got me through a five-hour car ride. Lots of laughs with truth and prayer in between.

Father Patrick’s reflections are so personable and genuine, that you can’t help but relate to them. Many situations are ones that we all have faced, and his honesty and humor make them come across as human..,which we all are. I have enjoyed listening to them all and look forward to many more.
