Like so many of the priests, sisters and laity in the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT), Fr. Larry Tucker discovered the ¿pearl of great price¿ while serving in the SOLT missions of Central America. It is amazing how many of our members have either discovered their vocations while serving in mission or experienced some of the greatest years of their religious life while there. While the demands are high, the service to those in need and the experience of God¿s Providence amidst great challenges leads one to truly marvel at the goodness and power of God, and to experience tremendous peace, joy and fulfillment.In ¿Adventures in the Father¿s Joy!¿, Fr. Larry recounts his own experiences while serving in SOLT missions in Central America. His book is his personal testimony and affirmation of everything Pope Francis speaks about in Evangelii Gaudium (¿The Joy of the Gospel¿) ¿ there is great joy to be found in following Christ and living the Gospel. Hopefully, Fr. Larry¿s experiences will inspire others to discover that same joy!

When his oldest son was diagnosed with severe autism, pastor Jason Hague found himself trapped, stuck between perpetual sadness and a lower, safer kind of hope. This is the common struggle for those of us walking through the Land of Unanswered Prayer. Life doesn’t look the way we expected, so we seek to protect ourselves from further disappointment. But God has a third path for us, beyond sadness or resignation: the way of aching joy. Christ himself is with us here, beckoning us toward the treasures hidden in the darkness. Aching Joy is an honest psalm of hope for those walking between pain and promise: the aching of a broken world and the beauty of a loving God. In this place, rather than trying to dodge the pain, we choose to feel it all—and to see where Jesus is in the midst of struggle. And because we make that choice, we feel all the good that comes with it, too. This is Jason’s story. This is your story. Come, find your joy within the aching.
