Product Description
by Pat Sheedy (Author)
Much like his first book, God is Able, this book is for the religious and laity, alike. Packed full of events that will encourage all to see how God is so needed in the world today and wants us to join with Him in His work. This book continues to tell us how God things happen just about every day if we remain in Him, listen to His promptings, and have the courage to proceed.
In this book, Father Pat uses examples from his early calling into the priesthood and through all his various ministry involvement over the last sixty years. The reader will find inspiring and very relevant urgings from God, such as the following:
"There is so much we can do and which we have to do, God will not do it for us. He could do it. It is just that He wants us to be partners with Him."
"We, like Him, are created to share-develop and share-all He has given us. When we unselfishly share, we are imitating God."
"It must be one of the greatest blessings Jesus gave the church-to forgive sins in His name."
Father Pat, over the years, has been inspired in his spiritual journey because of his annual prayerful visits to three of Ireland's holy places of pilgrimage: Knock Shrine; Ireland's Holy Mountain, Croagh Patrick; and Lough Derg's three-day heavy penances. These pilgrimages are designed to inspire individuals to take time and space apart from their normal busy life to pray, to meditate, to focus, to regroup, and to get reenergized for their normal, fully busy lives.
The uplifting stories in God is Needed will direct us to the ever-present need for God and inspire us to partner with Him in the work of caring for His people.
