By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor

"The deepest part of us, deep in our spirit, is where the real life of God is," Father Perry tells us for the 19th episode our Sunday Homilies podcast. "All the physical things we do — they're important, they're valuable, they communicate love. But we got to learn how; and it's usually through prayer and contemplation that we get way down deep into the spirit. Of course, Jesus' body is going to die, but the spirit deep within us is where he gives life and makes life happen."
