If there are the sounds of a lively discussion mixed with hearty laughter and the aroma of a good cigar, Father James can't be too far away. His priestly service has taken him to four different countries, many parish settings, and in contact with more friends that rivals most politicians. One of his favorite quotes: "Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair." - G. K. Chesterton

Father James is the Pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Corpus Christi, Texas. Visit him on the web for his Sunday homilies at http:// www.fatherjames.org.
