What Faith Really Costs (and What It Gives)

Published 7 days ago

In this episode of Following His Footsteps, Fr. Malachy CFR shares an encounter in Central Park that led him to reflect on fear, belief, and what happens when we finally say yes to God. Drawing from Pope Benedict’s timeless words — “Do not be afraid of Christ. He takes nothing from you but gives you everything.” — Fr. Malachy invites you to take the leap and discover what only friendship with Jesus can give: peace, joy, and freedom.
