"It is no use walking somewhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching." - Saint Francis of Assisi This is the story of Fr. Pete Jankowski, a priest of twenty years who has shared the story of his life through the homilies he has preached. In the joys and struggles of his priesthood, Fr. Pete has encountered so many good people that have served as examples of the faith and the inspiration to model that faith within the pages you are about to read. These are not just homilies about gospel messages - these are lived responses to the gospel messages coming to life in today's age. As Fr. Pete has learned, the gospel is not an antiquated story but a living, growing message that inspires us as much in today's age as it did in the first century. You are most invited to walk this journey with a pastor of a small, family community and the stories that have inspired him to share these stories from his life. May they be as inspirational in your life as they certainly have been in his. This is Fr. Pete's story and certainly this is Fr. Pete's prayer.
