Don’t Compartmentalize Your Faith: An Interview with Fr. Gabriel Mosher, OP

Sometimes it seems like faith is confined to a private activity, certainly something not to be discussed in public. However, we have a call, not only to grow in our faith, but to grow in love for Christ and our neighbor enough to share the Gospel with everyone around us. How does this look in a modern, secular setting? Fr. Gabriel Mosher, a priest with the Dominican Order, is serving in Portland, OR, the hometown of CE Editor Michael Lichens and a place that is often regarded as the most secular city in America. Fr. Gabriel is a contemplative priest with a heart for the New Evangelization as well as sharing the love of Christ with the citizens of Oregon. He goes through how we can stop compartmentalizing our faith and grow in Christ through contemplation as well as practical ways to evangelize those around us.

While evangelization can be a bad word in certain circles, Fr. Gabriel demonstrates how it is the natural fruit of contemplation and love. His message is that you don’t compartmentalize your faith but reflect it in everything you do from work to leisure. Take a listen to find out how you can become a saint today and also be a light of hope in your city and neighborhood.
