Many Catholics are concerned about their family members who’ve left their faith behind, or who’ve never had faith in the first place. Prayer is always the first course of action; but is it enough?
Fr. Sebastian Walshe, O. Praem, shares how one of the hallmarks of a Catholic worldview is the recognition that God uses secondary causes to accomplish His will, and by entrusting our loved ones to Him, we are trusting that God loves them infinitely more than we do, and is constantly working in ways we cannot see, through means we may not expect, to draw them to Himself.
