The Gift of Time and Prayer.
If the secular world cannot come to Christ in prayer, why don’t we bring them to Christ through our prayers? They are weary and burdened, and they, too, need to find rest in Christ Jesus.

I will be away for a weekend, as I am traveling to India. My home parish, dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. It is a small community with about 350 families in total. Many have moved outside the village for their livelihood, but the faith of this parish has deeply shaped who I am today.
