A Posture of Gratitude with Rebecca Grabill

Rebecca Grabill’s conversion started in the most unexpected way: a panic attack.

Since Rebecca also struggled with anxiety and agoraphobia, her husband suggested the Sacrament of Healing. Rebecca was unsure and decided to reach out to her parish.

Overcome with emotion, Rebecca wept as she recounted her story to her parish priest. Although he had never administered the Anointing of the Sick for severe anxiety in his 40 years of priesthood, he believed it was best.

Rebecca received a supernatural gift she never could have imagined.

“I was able for the first time to be able to truly love God…to experience a passionate love for God that was and is like a consuming fire.”

Rebecca's heart is filled with gratitude for the blessing of healing.

Listen to this Thanksgiving podcast and learn how you can have a posture of gratitude, too.

Awe of Advent with Fr. Ed Steiner, Pastor of St. Philip Catholic Church

When Fr. Ed Steiner was just 5 years old, there was a knock on his front door during supper. Fr. Ed excitedly ran to see who it was. What he found he never could have imagined.

It was Santa Claus!

To the day Fr. Ed still finds himself stirred with a similar sense of awe he experienced that very moment he saw Santa as a young boy. Yet Fr. Ed recognizes what he is really waiting for is the coming of Christ.

In this Advent podcast Fr. Ed reflects on our need to remember why Christ came—and how the true meaning of Christmas fills our hearts and homes during this special time of year.

Let us strive to make awe-filled memories and practice the Gospel with our loved ones this Advent Season.
