Fr. Gabriel
It is Good for Us to Be Here!

“It is indeed good for us to be here, as you have said Peter.  It is good to be with Jesus and to remain here forever.  What greater happiness or higher honor could we have, than to be with God…to be made like him and to live in His Light?” -St. Athanasius of Sinai

Fr. Gabriel
August 28, 2017

Fr. Gabriel explains the sentence:  "It is the American Dream to be a sell-out" (taken from the online urban dictionary under the definition of "sell-out") and why, like the Rich Man in today's Gospel, our priorities are so "out of whack".
