Love is our vocation –
it’s all we have been called to do.
We’ve been given very, very different lives,
and very different ways in our lives,
but they all boil down to this one call,
this vocation to love.
--Fr. Patrick Michaels,
Homily, October 1, 2025
The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.
--James Baldwin
