The distance between God's ways and our ways is infinite. Where we see suffering God sees an opportunity for intimacy. Where we see a "dead" end God sees a million different possibilities. What seperates us from God is that God looks into the heart while we only see the appearance of things. Hence, God sees a much bigger picture than we do.

Homily from Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, to the CFR seminarians. At the start of the new school year we learn from Mary's Assumption!

Most of our fears are the result of believing a story that simply is not true. Jesus' question "Why are you afraid?" confronts us with the many lies we have believed about ourselves, other people and God. It is only by looking at Him, who is reality and truth, that we can overcome our fears and experience the freedom that is ours as children of God.

Our vocation is the plan God has for our life. Often times though when we hear the word "vocation" we automatically think about marriage, priesthood, religious life or living as a single person in the world. Before that vocation can occur there is another vocation that we all must be aware of and follow. For each one of us our primary vocation is following Jesus and from that following of Jesus we will be led to the place where God wants us to live out this vocation.
