My friend had given me a Father Mike Schmitz CD titled “True Worship.” We listened to it on the way to the hearing and that’s what officially started our journey back Home. That’s when we finally knew what we were missing in the Eucharist.

Our journey has taught us that when we lean on our own plans and our own understandings, we are sure to fall. When we surrender our own plans, hopes, and desires completely over to God’s will—everything, in the end, happens for our good—for God loves us, and His plan for us is perfect!

Edward’s words inspired a mission to bring hungry children to school by providing Mary’s Meals. Working with like-minded people and in partnership with some of the world’s poorest communities, Magnus leads a mission that lets children all over the world know they matter.

Two men in their 20s are the unlikely owners and operators of Broken Arrow’s only local Catholic radio station, St. Michael Catholic Radio, 102.9 FM.

In the past few years God has reminded me that His plans are WAY better than mine! From teaching, to working with Ascension Press, to speaking and more.

I’ve learned the importance of surrounding yourself with other faithful individuals, but also the fact that at the end of the day having a personal relationship with Christ is a decision you have to make on your own.

I remember praying-- "I can't do this alone, but You can through me, and so I trust You, Jesus: help me, help others." Reform changed me, and I pray it changes you, too. My faith saved me; I pray it saves you, too.

After many years of preparation and formation, I realized that I am a weak and poor instrument, but nonetheless chosen by God to carry His message of mercy.

I couldn’t imagine what would happen after I recorded this song in a very amateur way. We made it at home, and then we posted it. The mark of 2 million views really got me, and the people’s faith testimonies.

After this moment of grace I had with Our Lady, I began to change everything about my spiritual life. I returned to confession for the first time in 10+ years, I began reading Catholic Books (especially on Mary), I began to pray the Rosary more fervently, and I even joined the Catholic Young Adult group my best friend was part of.

Life with Christ has been my greatest adventure. I have seen amazing miracles before my eyes, watched people encounter Jesus and be healed by Him, and have felt His presence in tangible ways.

I knew that if my desire was to be as close to my Savior as I could this side of heaven then I had to unite myself with His Bride, the Catholic Church.

My pursuit of love and learning all about it has brought me to almost as long a career in Catholic wedding photography, an incomparable school of sacrificial love. This journey prepared me to meet my husband and share this love with everyone I encounter; on my best days, of course. I’m still learning.

He doesn’t promise wild success or that I will be the most eloquent Dominican preacher or teacher, but He does promise that He will be there. All I have to do is look at Him.

That was the first day I stopped telling God what I couldn’t do and asked Him what He wanted me to do. That is my invitation to you today, don’t limit God’s power, just ask and trust He can make you who He needs you to be.

Now I understand the world constantly as the product of God’s creation and look at my experiences as serving to understand, or maybe its more indulgence, of Gods will, His creations.
