Be Not Afraid (Also: Fire & Grace: Trusting the Light of Faith)

 

Video Description:

I’ll never forget the silence on that cold morning as I stared past the police tape and into the skeleton of my parish home. St. Luke Church had burned to the ground, leaving nothing but ashes, an old wooden cross, and the Eucharist in its wake. Watch the story that’s helping to transform our culture and inspiring a new generation in powerful ways.

Indeed, the Circle of Life IS a Family of Love, and that is the Hope of the New Evangelization. It just took a little fire and grace to witness such glory.
