In this reflection for the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Kristen Fisher reminds us that Jesus always shows up when we need him, even if it’s not always in the way that we expect.
God doesn’t automatically make things easy. He doesn’t automatically make all the hard stuff go away. But He does show up, and He gives us exactly what we need for each day. In the Eucharist, Jesus becomes our daily bread. He comes every single day at Mass, to give us everything weneed for that day. He keeps showing up, over and over every day, and offers Himself to us as real food.

Kristen Fisher
Kristen was raised in a Catholic family, but it wasn't until middle school when she really encountered the Lord. Her faith journey ultimately led her to graduate from Franciscan University with a Bachelors Degree in theology and anthropology, and she left with a heart that was ready to share the Faith in the same way that had changed her own life; youth ministry. Kristen served as a youth minister in the Archdiocese of Baltimore for 16 years, spending most of her time serving middle schoolers and their families, specifically. She left parish ministry to join our team as we seek to equip and empower families to evangelize their own kids in a fun, authentic and dynamic way, all while working alongside parish evangelists. Kristen has been married to her husband Greg for 15 years, and together they are blessed to be raising 4 children.
