Free Mustard Seeds
Hi! This is Fr. Patrick Gonyeau, a priest in the Archdiocese of Detroit, and I'd love to share with you the Word of God. I was once an agnostic and dared God to show me He was real...and the rest is history. There is no greater gift that we can receive than Jesus Christ who brings us the joy of salvation! It is my hope and prayer that these homilies bring to you and those you share them with the joy of knowing and loving Jesus...who is calling all of us!

At the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, St. John the Baptist witnessed the heaven's open, the Spirit descend upon Jesus and heard God the Father declare from heaven the truth of the identity of Jesus Christ.
