Fr. Ed Ruane, O.P. reminds us who strive to follow the the way of Jesus, that there exists an, "awful long trip," from the head to the heart - from knowing with our minds what we ought to do, and being convicted in our hearts about what we ought to do. And he reminds us of the even longer trip, "from the heart to the feet," - the trip from being convicted in what we ought to do to actually acting as we should.

In the midst of this challenging message, we are encouraged that no one can take us our of the Father's hand; let us pray to remain in the hands of God, that we may walk in the path that God prepares for us.
