Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, leads listeners into the Prodigal Son’s decisive moment—“I will get up and go back to my father”—to show that faith isn’t only an idea but a choice made in the heart, the “place of decision” where we choose life. Drawing on the Catechism’s teaching on the heart, he explores how wounds, lack of secure love, and patterns of self-protection can constrict our freedom, and how silence, prayer, confession, and safe relationships expand it. With examples ranging from addiction and daily recommitment to heroic martyrdom, he invites everyone—no matter where they are—to take one real step toward Jesus tonight: “Jesus, I believe… I trust… I choose you.”
