This Sunday's readings are a beautiful reminder that when we have struggles - and we will always have struggles - God the Father is there waiting for us, and we simply need to turn to him in prayer. In this week's Dad Talk, we'll discuss how Elijah did that in the context of the first reading, and how Jesus did that in the Gospel reading. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad

When you hear the name Jesus, what comes to mind — gentle and kind, or triumphant and unconquerable? Heart of the Gospel reveals both: Jesus as compassionate healer and mighty warrior who battles sin, Satan, and death itself to rescue the one he loves: YOU!
We start at 6:30am with a delicious breakfast and introduction to the topics for the day. We'll cover 3 topics in the morning before lunch with time in between for Lection Divina, group discussions, and short breaks. After lunch, we have a very special topic to prepare us for a guided holy hour of quiet reflection in the church. Upon returning from the holy hour, light snacks will be provided as we begin the final topic video and discussion. Everything wraps up in time for the regular 5 PM mass at Our Lady of the Lakes.
