Off the Mountain Top
Often times in the busyness of everyday life there are times when we are called to separate ourselves from those that surround us and experience God like we have never before. From November 17 – 20, 2011 I had the great honor and privilege of taking 28 people from my parish to the National Catholic Youth Conference held in Indianapolis.

Obedience to God through People (ouch!)
I experienced dramatically that I don’t know what’s best for me, only God does. And usually my plans go against His (“My thoughts are not your thoughts…” Is 55:8). So my best bet for happiness and salvation is to be obedient to God’s will, and so in an incarnate way to be obedient to His Church, and also to be obedient to those who know and love me disinterestedly and might be there to guide me.
