“The faithful must be renewed, and those who have fallen away need to
be invited back to the Church. We need to spread the kingdom of God to
those without hope. Amid all of our prosperity, so many people are
living on the edge of quiet desperation, and despite our modern
successes, the Lord says you’re still the same people with needs.

The Gospel offers them hope, and that’s why the Holy Spirit is
trying to inflame this in the heart of the Church. The Church has this

wonderful love, we have the Lord’s Table, and we just ought not to keep
it to ourselves.”

— Deacon Alex Jones, speaking of his remarkable conversion to the faith.
