“First comes God, then your spouse, then your family, then whatever else God asks of you.” – Fr. Peter Devereux, international chaplain of His Way at Work
We’ve been running sessions for young people at the seminary called GPS – God’s plan for your soul. What energy is unleashed when someone discovers what mission God has given to them! The keys are: silent prayer, confession and the Eucharist, one-on-one coaching with a spiritual mentor.
