A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers
The trials and sufferings of the faithful are the first steps toward a better state of things. They detach from earthly things and purify the human side of the Church. From them will proceed light, and strength, and victory. (CA, 30-31)
If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or another person who is ill, and you believe something miraculous has happened, phone Father Paul Robichaud, CSP, at 212-265-3209 x350 and tell him your story.
