FBP 935 - I Am Your Company and Others' You Are

Fr. Bill's Podcast
Written By William Holtzinger

Episode 935 (11:16)

Fr. Anthony Hoangphan is preaching. God is not far from us - He is always by our side, journeying along with us and accompanying us. “When two or three gather in my name, I am in their midst" (Mt 18:20), Jesus says. He is inviting us to help others experience Him through our accompaniment. And as the world is increasingly becoming individualistic, the need to accompany one another is most needed now more than ever. We are called to be a source of comfort, consoling, a helping hand to those who are alone in our midst.
