iPadre #159 – No Spirit, No Church

Why did the Apostles and early disciples hide themselves in the upper room?  And why  is it that today, we Catholic’s often hide ourselves from the world around us?  In today’s show, we talk with Fr. John Randall about his latest book, “No Spirit… No Church”.  Fr. Randall shares about the golden age of the Church, which he experienced whenhe was in the seminary and how all all came crumbling down in  a few short years.  In his book, he offers the solution that he used and saw it build up two dying parishes.  We also go over some eMail.

I am praying for our Priest, Father Larkin and for all priests that they stay strong in their calling, and last for all the men that hear the call but are not answering.We need more priests. God can only call, they need to answer.God bless you Father Jay and Please keep up the wonderful Podcasts that you have been doing. Sincerely Jennie Brynildsen
