Setting the World on Fire

When God created us, he made us with certain cravings and desires. One of them being the desire to live a life with significant purpose, and with a mission. However, because of a variety of reasons; busyness, boredom, complacency, we try to satisfy those cravings and desires on missions that are too small. In this talk we will learn about the mission that gives us that life of significant purpose and can satisfy those desires. This was spoken at a confirmation meeting for middle and high school students.

The Divine Kiss

For some of us the Mass is just an empty, boring ritual in which the Eucharist signals that the boredom will be ending soon. Is there supposed to something more to the Mass? Does God have something else in store for us in giving us the Eucharist? In this talk we will learn how the Eucharist is a powerful and intense way God is drawing us in to a closer intimacy with Him. This was spoken at a high school retreat.
