Sparks from His Heartby Fr. Frank Parrish, S.J.

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. For over 50 years, Jesuit priest, Fr. Frank, preached on the syndicated “Catholic Quarter Hour” radio program. He selected his favorite talks to be published in this book, Sparks from His Heart.

Since his death, Fr. Frank’s powerful, timeless messages still reach people nationwide and soon will reach many more globally. Just as his radio talks did for half a century, his book aims to bring the faithful closer to grasping the full meaning of Jesus’ words. In a secular society where religious freedom and Catholic beliefs are constantly challenged, it is refreshing to read the inspiring radio talks presented by a renowned Jesuit priest - Fr. Frank Parrish, S.J.
