Homilies from the Heart: Stories to Live, Love, and Serve One Another

I met Father George in Orting, Washington at St. Cosmos and Damian Catholic Church. Each Sunday I would listen to his homilies and the stories he told as they related to the sacred scripture reading. His stories always touched my heart. The stories all contained practical tips, advice and suggestions in becoming a better person. He knew life was tough and that we would have problems in this life but his words of love and encouragement always made me feel God’s love and mercy. He knew we were all sinners and unworthy but he always reminded us how much God loves us and how he died for our sins on the cross so we could have eternal life with him. The stories were easy to remember and oftentimes I found myself retelling the stories to friends and family members who were in need of comforting words. I found sharing these stories was also an easy way to tell others about our loving and merciful God.
