What would you say if someone asked you, "What is your God like?"
In today’s reflection for Wednesday, 13 May 2026, Fr. Chuck Dahm (St. Pius V parish, Chicago) explores a powerful moment from the Acts of the Apostles where the disciples encounter a shrine to an "Unknown God." Fr. Chuck challenges us to move beyond the unknown and define the characteristics of the God we serve.
Drawing from scripture and the teachings of Jesus, we look at God as the source of all life, a fountain of endless mercy, and a champion for the oppressed. Learn how to better understand—and share—the nature of a God who intervenes in our daily lives to give us strength and peace.
**Key Themes in this Video:**
* The biblical encounter with the "Unknown God."
* Defining God’s characteristics: Life, Love, and Mercy.
* God’s special concern for the poor and oppressed.
* How God intervenes in our modern world.
