Shifting from Fear to Love - Fr. Pat McGrath 8.18.24

We all face a common struggle: focusing more on what scares us than what we love. But why do our fears so often overshadow our sense of love and peace? And, more importantly, how can we shift our primary focus toward love? We can go to church, engage in prayer, and receive communion. When we receive the Eucharist, we’re not just reminded of love—we’re nourished by it. Today, Father Pat McGrath encourages us to bring our worries and anxieties to Mass, where we are embraced by the One who is love. Doing so allows love to fill our lives, enabling us to spread it to others and help them feel love instead of fear.
