An Interview
with Father
Mike Schmitz
"N
o man is an island," the
age-old saying goes. As
great as each individual
might be, we need each other; we
were made for communit y.
From the first moments of our
creation, God knew that it was "not
good for man to be alone" (Gen 2:18).
It's the first time he pronounces
something "not good" after finding
the sun, stars, sea, earth, animals
and mankind itself (very) good.
We were not made to go it alone.
We are our brother's keeper.
You matter to the mission of the
Church, and the Church needs you.
Your priest does, too. ⊲
