Pastor's Circle - Father Albert Haase on "Mission"

Father Haase's new book is This Sacred Moment: Becoming Holy Right Where You Are. He is a Franciscan priest, author and radio talk show host.

On good works and mission

We tend to forget that we were sent on a mission. That each one of us has a special mission that only we can perform in life.

A Christian without a sense of mission is a stunted Christian

How to find your mission

It's only in prayer and spending time every day reflecting on my life.

Where is God calling me in the normal, nitty gritty of my life?

You don't have to go to the other side of the world to go on a mission. But in reality the harder place is often in your home.

Using our gifts for us

We spend too much time looking in the mirror. What the gospel challenges us to do is look out the window.

How can we be more holy today

See somebody sad, give them a smile. See someone begging on the street, stop and talk with them, give them some change.

Simply look around you...'cause that's how the Kingdom is built.
