Fr. Patrick Gonyeau C.PP.S.

Many a time we've heard the famous passage from Psalm 34:9 "taste and see the goodness of the Lord." Powerful words indeed...inviting us to LIVE for God's glory, imbued with God's presence.

A visit to His hometown synagogue in Nazareth left Jesus amazed at the lack of faith among the people. His desire for us, is that our faith would be what keeps us in contact with His presence enabling us live with substance.

Beginning a new assignment at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Detroit, Fr. Patrick shares his personal testimony and invites the listeners into the experience of tasting the saving love of Jesus anew in their lives by taking the time to record their own personal testimonies...

Baptism plunges us into God, filling us with God's Holy Spirit and making us, as St. Peter describes "a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9) In this verse we can see a biblical root for the teaching that we are baptized "priest, prophet & king". This reflection touches on the priestly and kingly dimensions of Christian life, and then focuses on the prophetic dimension of the Christian life.

After Original Sin, Adam went from divine intimacy with God to hiding from God; afraid of His voice and filled with fear, tension, shame and division. The price paid for our healing was the cross, the debt we owe is love...

At the last supper, Jesus gave the Church the gift of the Eucharist and the priesthood. We take a look at how the Eucharist really becomes the body and blood of Jesus today, why He continues to give us this gift, and what happens in us as a result of this gift.

Our understanding of who God is, what God is like and how God sees us has a profound impact on the way we live.

On Ascension Sunday, we look at the big picture of the Ascension, how shortly thereafter the Holy Spirit would flow forth in the New Covenant at Pentecost. We look at the flow of God's love in the design of Motherhood. We consider the hour at hand in the days leading up to Pentecost and God's invitation to more...

The love of Jesus sets us FREE. Filled with His love, our souls become furnaces of divinely powerful love that flows through us and out to others. Free in His love, we have His peace & power to set the captives free.

At St. Ignatius Catholic Church on the final day of a signs & wonders filled ministry trip to the Cayman Islands with Patrick Reis of Encounter Ministries in partnership with Pastor Felix Manzanares of Journey Ministries, testimony is given of the wonders God worked throughout the week, including the miraculous growth of Naomi's leg, who shares her testimony. Jesus is the Vine & we are the branches, truly able to do the works He did, and "even greater works than these" said Jesus. (Jn 14:12) To BELIEVE that is FAITH, the first step to unleashing the mighty power of the gospel!
