pastoral reflections on living out the Catholic faith
Welcome to Come What May
A Church of the Resurrection blog
by Fr. Steve Mattson
As pastor, I created this blog to be an outlet for my reflections on how, as Catholic Christians, we should respond to the challenges that seem to be everywhere increasing. Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And we believe that. But it’s not obvious what that means, practically speaking, when we each need to discern how to respond to the real challenges and crises that arise day by day. In this blog, I will offer reflections on current events and eternal concerns with the hope that what I write might be helpful to those who are striving, like me, to discern what faithful discipleship looks like . . . come what may. Come whatever may.
