Ever wonder why Jesus said, “I come to cast a fire on the earth”? His next words—“how I wish it were ignited”—suggest a certain impatience. Nevertheless: the sparks, His sparks, are all around us. For over 50 years, a Jesuit priest known simply as Father Frank preached on the syndicated “Catholic Quarter Hour” radio program. He selected his favorite talks to be published in a book, Sparks from His Heart. Father Frank passed on to eternal life, but his powerful, timeless messages still reach people nationwide and soon will reach many more globally. Just as Father Frank’s radio talks did for half a century, his book aims to bring the faithful closer to grasping the full meaning of Jesus’ words. The Heart of our Catholic Faith “It is that we become His other humanity—His resurrected life. He continues to live in His resurrected life through our humanities. To me this is the very heart and apex of our Catholic faith.” Father Frank
