Every generation is faced with a spiritual battle. Fortunately, we are not alone in the fight. When we unite our prayers to the prayers of the Church, we stand with the armor of the Body of Christ.  For more information on our mission, visit www.stleolafayette.com

At first glance, the parable of the landowner and the laborers in the vineyard seems like bad economics. But a closer look at this  parable reveals a number of parallels to the parable of the prodigal son.  For more information on our mission, visit www.stleolafayette.com

When someone saves your life, that's a big deal. In some sense, you become forever indebted to them. And yet, we so easily forget what Christ has done for us. Imagine how different things would be if we would recognize just how big of a deal it is that Christ saves us from Hell.  For more information on our mission, visit www.stleolafayette.com

How do we know whether or not God is calling us to have a hard conversation with someone? Here’s 3 things to consider when making that decision. For more information on our mission, visit www.stleolafayette.com

A true conversion is about seeing everything differently. The Truman Show, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, and Jesus’ rebuke of Peter in the gospel reading all point to the importance of a true metanoia, a change of perspective. Visit stleolafayette.com to learn more about our mission.

We are all building things - families, careers, relationship - but what are we building them upon? If we don’t build them upon Christ, they will all eventually become another ruin.  Visit stleolafayette.com to learn more about our mission.

Your faith is a gift that was never meant to be kept for yourself. Just as Old Testament Isreal was supposed to be a light to the gentiles, so too are we supposed to be a light to the world. Visit stleolafayette.com to learn more about our mission.

It's not your job to feed the 5,000. Your job is only to provide the 5 loaves and 2 fish. Imagine the freedom we'd have if we cared more about being faithful to God than about worldly outcomes. Learn more about our mission at stleolafayette.com

When bad things happen to us or around us, we find ourselves wondering why God doesn’t just fix it. Jesus offers a mysterious answer to this question deep within us.  Learn more about our mission at stleolafayette.com

The average American would probably define freedom a bit differently than the Christian. True freedom is not in escaping yokes, but in embracing the yoke of Christ.  Learn more about our mission at stleolafayette.com

A Christian who doesn’t put Christ first is out of place. If we want to experience fullness of life, we must first enter into fullness of death to our constructed ego. This will be tough, as the cross is guaranteed, but the payoff is more than worth it.  Learn more about our mission at stleolafayette.com

Most of us care more about what others think of us than about what God thinks of us. This not only prevents us from having a true conversion, but also burdens us with insecurity and fear. But the love of God has the power to cast away all fear.  Learn more about our mission at stleolafayette.com
