ALL IN
Being Catholic means not simply following Jesus but walking with him and being ALL IN. We cannot simply sit on the fence and follow Jesus when it is convenient, easy or beneficial. Christ wants all that we are and all that we have. To be “all in” means that we have to trust the Lord completely. This requires a deep prayer life, an open heart that tunes in to the voice of the Good Shepherd—and courage to risk. Whenever we walk with the Lord, we can never go wrong. Jesus is truly the way, the truth and the life. The great thing is that we do not do it alone. Our family of parishes has a pastoral plan that seeks to form disciples of Jesus who are willing to give everything over to the love of Christ. May we IGNITE THE MISSION in our lives and in our faith community. Let’s be ALL IN!!

What happens to us when Jesus gives us our lives back again? Watch or listen to find out more.
