We asked, and you answered! Catholics from around the Archdiocese of Seattle share the best spiritual advice they've gotten from a priest:

Dear Kianna: How can I deepen my devotion to the Eucharist, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic? – Seeker

I was nearly 4 years old when I learned my first Bible verse by heart: “For God has not given me the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

Al celebrar el Día del Padre, no puedo evitar recordar que, según la Escritura, “el orgullo del hijo es su padre” (Cf Proverbios 17,6). Es triste que no todos los hijos puedan hacer suyas esas palabras. Hay padres poco afectuosos y egoístas que viven para sí y dan a sus hijos las migajas que sobran de su valioso tiempo.

As we celebrate Father’s Day, I am reminded that, according to Scripture, “the glory of a child is his father” (see Proverbs 17:6). Alas, not all children can make those words their own — some fathers are unloving and selfish, living for themselves and giving their children only the crumbs of their precious time.
