Publisher's Synopsis
Full of events that will inspire priests and laypeople alike, God Is Able will encourage all to trust God and step up when guided by His nudging. This book tells of how God things happen almost every day if we remain in Him, listen to His promptings, and have the courage to proceed.
This is a narrative from a humble Irish priest in America using examples from the early calling into the priesthood through his first few parishes and while at Blessed Trinity in Florida, where he has served for thirty-five years. It includes recounts of a dynamic and diverse career of prison ministry, campus ministry, helping relocate refugees, keeping contact with Irish Travellers, and many helpful points from a life of priesthood.
Among the stories in God Is Able is of the amazing growth of a small parish school in Ocala, Florida, due to the spiritual concept of living the Stewardship Way of Life. The enrollment increase was more than doubled during a time when Catholic schools faced shutdowns all around the country.
Another astounding result of this parish commitment to the Stewardship Way of Life has been a monstrous outreach to Nalweyo, Uganda. The continual commitment to this area has led to thirty-two village churches, twenty-two schools, an orphanage, a medical clinic, and more! The amazing thing is, this parish is located in one of the less affluent counties in the state of Florida.
Journeying through these stories, the reader will be convinced that God is calling him to be His mouthpiece. This book should be uplifting and inspiring to all who read it.
