Celebrated at St. Patrick's Church

Momence, IL 60954

4:00 a.m. seems to be a good time for Fr. Pete to remove himself from the noise and craziness of the world to focus on his prayer life, the subject of this homily. The allow God to speak in the silence of the heart (and of the night!) is so important - so often in this world we are caught up with the temptations of life that we rarely focus on either our God or our purpose for existing. Fr. Pete includes passages from scripture in his homily that focus on the importance of that silence and prayer.
