This is an excerpt from the full interview on The Life of a Priest, a podcast available in the Tabella Catholic App.

Father Manny Alvarez is the pastor of the Church of the Little Flower in Coral Gables, Florida. In this excerpt he shares his passion for golf and finds a connection between golf and the spiritual life.

It’s that one good golf shot you had that says, next time I go, I’m gonna play better. That’s what everybody’s frustration is with it. The reason I made that analogy to spiritual life: we’re always in search of that goal, and Christ gives us that hope to be able to reach that goal.
