This is the story of Fr. Pete Jankowski, a priest of twenty-years who has shared the story of his life through homilies he has preached. In the joys and struggles of his priesthood, Fr. Pet has encountered so many good people that have served as examples of the faith and the inspiration to model that faith within the pages you are about to read. These are not just homilies about gospel messages - these are lived responses to the gospel messages coming to lfe in today's age. As Fr. Pete has learned, the gospel is not an antiquated story but living, growing message that inspires as much in today's age as it did in the first century. You are most invited to walk this journey with a pastor of a small, family community and the stories that have inspired him to share these stories from his life. May they be an inspiration in your life as they certainly have been in his. This is Fr. Pete's story and certainly this is Fr. Pete's prayer.
