Fr. James Marchionda, OP

Think of all your prayers, devotions, fasting, and spiritual practices. Then hear what God really requires: "Only to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God."

As world leaders brag about weapons that can destroy nations "in the blink of an eye," God says: "Those who are just must be kind."

Jesus said, "Your Father knows what you need before you ask him." So why do we pray?

Have you ever wondered if your spiritual life is more about "show" than "soul"?

Continuing the theme of being "full of God," Fr. Jim explores the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. In this passage, Jesus speaks to the Father, essentially "boasting" about His disciples.

Fr. Jim reflects on a second powerful moment from Acts where Paul meets disciples who had "never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." As baptized believers, we don't have that excuse! We are called to be "full of God."
