Kevin's Mission

Mission

Through the flare of his pen, the force of his zeal, and the wit and imagination of his Irish heritage, Kevin Wells has centered his life on a bold and timeless proposition: Divine order takes root in the Church and the family when Catholics dare to abandon comfort, hesitation, and fear and conform themselves to the greatest portrait of love the world has ever known—the crucified Christ, poured out upon the Cross.

Mission in Action

A best-selling Catholic author and acclaimed speaker, retreat leader, and documentarian, Kevin Wells awakens in souls a longing to hear the plea of the Starved Man on the Cross—the same plea Christ made to the rich young man: Will you pick up your cross and follow Me? That question, and the moment of interior confrontation it demands, has traveled through the mysteries of time to meet us today, in an age when God seems to be vanishing. Wells asks himself the same question he poses in his writings and talks: Can we live for God alone amid the drowning distractions of a restless world, allowing God to revive our souls and, through us, the soul of an aching world? Can we help restore the glory and might of our suffering pilgrim Church?

Yes—we can! Wells proclaims it with the joy of a Christmas carol ringing out into the world.

The Sacred Solution

In countless ways, Wells proposes crucified love as the answer to the wounds of our age. He urges us to make the work of our lives the creation of small masterpieces of stripped-down, self-giving love—for our families, our Church, and our world. This is the “narrow way” of the saints, martyrs, and mystics who have gone before us: the ancient path of sacrifice and poured-out love. Wells believes that these witnesses enlarge and deepen our relationship with Christ to the degree that we are willing to embrace heroic measures of love in our homes, workplaces, parishes, and neighborhoods.

Through his pen, presentations, and storytelling, Wells calls hearts back to God and has helped reawaken the faith of thousands of clergy, seminarians, and laypeople throughout the world. With a style at once bold, provocative, and brimming with joy, he points toward a purer and deeper love—the love Christ poured out that converted, healed, and redeemed.

Rooted in the wisdom of saints such as St. John Vianney, St. John Bosco, and St. Damien of Molokai, and illuminated by the prophetic message of Fatima, Kevin Wells holds up the family as the sacred heirloom and cornerstone of society—the humble domestic church from which the reordering of the world can in ways unimaginable. It is a radical but timeless proposition that Kevin proclaims with conviction: sinners will convert and turn back to God, an aching world will find peace, and divine order will be restored when the world encounters happy white martyrs—men and women who have learned to live for God alone.
