Threshold Moments - Fr. Jack Wall 5.18.25

It’s that time of year when caterpillars complete their quiet transformation and emerge as something new - butterflies, ready to spread their wings and fly. We have moments like that, too. Times when life reaches out and invites us to become something new—to lead, to serve, to show up in ways we never have before. These are threshold moments. Turning points that call us to step forward with courage and faith. Just like when Bob Prevost stepped through the doors of St. Peter’s and emerged no longer as Robert Prevost, but as Pope Leo—a new name, a new calling, a new life of mission and love. But this isn’t just his story. It’s ours, too. We are invited into something deeper, braver, and more purposeful. Today, Father Jack Wall reflects on these sacred moments—and leaves us with one question: Will you step through the door?
