Thank you for visiting our website, Abiding in Hope.
We are happy to welcome you and hope you find here practical resources that will enrich your lives with encouragement, peace, freedom and joy.
This website is designed in collaboration with our radio program, Abiding in Hope, a production of St. Gabriel Catholic Radio in Columbus, OH on AM820 and online at stgabrielradio.com. Our mission is to help you live virtuous lives and find God’s mercy and redemption in the good times and the bad.
We gladly invite your participation on the radio show and this website by submitting your questions on the spiritual life, marriage, family, relationships, and matters where faith, hope, and life’s difficulties and anxieties intermingle. Please submit your questions here.
As the radio show and its twin sibling, this website, are in their infancy, beginning in September 2017, we ask you to check back frequently as the website grows with archives from the show, Father Baker’s homilies, insightful blog posts, and valuable links to faithful Catholic teachings.
Praise to God for a Living Hope
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
Romans 15:13

This Powerful Video of Cardinal Sarah on the Importance of Silence Will Blow You Away | ChurchPOP

"Silence makes life more similar to God, because God is silence."Thanks for sharing the video. The older I get the more I relish the silence. I arrive to church early as one way to sit one on one with the Lord. Yes, I can do that Adoration and home as well, but at church and looking up at the crucifix I am in awe of His love for me, me, a sinner who He loved enough to stretch out His arms not just to be nailed on the cross, but for me to feel He is saying, these arms want you to come into them so that I can hold and console you. Sometimes when I sit in church I just let the tears flow with love for Him.
