We want fixes fast. But grace grows like a living thing. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks connect holiness with healing and health, contrasting our “instant results” culture with the Church’s slow, steady path of love. They explore the Mass as a weekly encounter with transforming love, why Jesus ties miracles to faith, and how small, concrete acts—prayer, kindness, showing up—rebuild relationships and communities. Framed through the three lenses: honesty with ourselves, charity with others, under a living relationship with God.
Key Ideas
Holiness = healing = health: one continuum where God’s love fills wounds and restores us to love like Him.
Mass as encounter and formation: receive Love Himself, then live it in family, work, parish, and the margins.
Faith and consent: Jesus often says “your faith has healed you”—grace invites a free, trusting response.
Resist the “instant” reflex: spiritual growth is organic (like crops); show up, be attentive, persevere.
Love in action: begin with prayer, then take the next generous step—kindness, advocacy, building support networks.
“Where there is no love, put love”: small, steady offerings create gratitude, connection, and hope.
