Fr. Rob shares a humorous (and slightly embarrassing) hunting story—packing every piece of gear imaginable but forgetting the most essential: his boots. Crocs in the deer blind aside, this experience becomes a reflection on the Gospel. Just as boots are essential for the hunt, Christ’s presence is essential for life. When we place our relationship with him at the center, everything else—our relationships, our struggles, even our worries—falls into place. Without that foundation, we’re left unprepared. With him, we can carry the cross and find strength in every circumstance.
