Pray with us

“Nothing is more opposed to the maxims of the Gospel and the spirit of your vocation than fear; nothing is more capable of paralyzing the good which has been so auspiciously begun.”—Basil Moreau
“Be not afraid.” Pope John Paul II opened his pontificate with these words of Jesus Christ, and he repeated them over and over again, in and out of season, as a reminder to the Church and to the world that God’s love overcomes all our fears, freeing us to live our callings. I know the deep truth of Christ’s invitation to abandon all fear.
