The former chaplain of Legatus’ Jacksonville Chapter takes his reader on a journey to look at Jesus in a new way.

In addition to serving as pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Fr. Daniel Scheidt serves as chaplain of Legatus’ Fort Wayne Chapter, which has witnessed extraordinary growth in the past year.

He later spent a year studying at the Pope John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family in Washington, D.C., before entering seminary in 1997. He spoke to Legatus magazine’s editorial assistant Tim Drake.

Born near Cuet, France, Pierre Marie Chanel worked as a shepherd boy and attended a small parish school. He attracted the attention of a visiting priest and was placed in a church-sponsored school in Cras. After reading letters from missionaries, Chanel was drawn to the missions. Ordained in 1827, his application to join the Society of Mary (Marists) was denied.

Legates are fighters. This should come as no surprise since most business leaders have Type A personalities. But we have a distinct advantage: the Catholic faith.

Silent, meditative prayer is a very special way in which we can dialogue with Our Lord. As we talk to him and listen to him, we come closer to him in the silence of our hearts.
