AI OVERVIEW: Sharing faith with family can be hard, especially when they know you more as a brother than as a priest. A childhood story about stealing a purple Tyrannosaurus from my sister’s cereal box shows how easily we hide faults, and it underlines the power of invitation over judgment. The gospel narrative of the feeding of the five thousand points to the Eucharist as the source and summit of life, given through the church by bishops and priests, not interchangeable with other denominations, since Catholic membership is the best equipped path to salvation. Being imperfect Catholics, we still share faith with those we love, aiming to invite them to the eternal banquet of heaven without judgment, even as we acknowledge our own faults.
