In this reflection for the Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Catherine and Patrick Sullivan remind us that what matters most is that we go “all in” with God, trusting that he will take whatever we can give him and use that to do heroic things.
In the Bible, God is always surprising us by taking people who background characters and raising them up and making them the heroes. The stories in the readings show that it doesn’t matter how much we have to give, if we entrust what we have, whether it be gifts, talents, abilities, money, or whatever, he can do something great with them, because it’s by His power that great things are done, and not our own.

Married on the feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Catherine and Patrick Sullivan have always had a love for education. Catherine is a teacher and writer. After earning a master's degree in theology from the University of Notre Dame, she has spent nearly a decade teaching religion and English to middle and high school students. Patrick is a high school administrator and avid runner. Also holding a master’s degree in theology from the University of Notre Dame, his theological background continues to inform the work he does today. As parents, both Catherine and Patrick are grateful for the opportunity to receive the sacraments as well as a generously sized cup of coffee.
