A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
“Not an anxious search, least of all a craving for extraordinary lights; but a constant readiness to perceive the divine guidance in the secret ways of the soul, and then to act with decision and a noble and generous courage – this is true wisdom.” [On the Guidance of the Holy Spirit]
If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or another person who is ill, and you believe something miraculous has happened, please phone Father Paul Robichaud, CSP, at 202-269-2519 and tell him your story.
