What if faith isn’t safe—but beautiful?

Fr. Malachy shares an unforgettable story about skydiving—and how it mirrors what it means to trust God completely. Faith isn’t about control or certainty; it’s about surrender. It’s the moment you let go of the edge and discover that grace catches you every time.
