Peter Krezalek, LC, was born and raised in Poland as the youngest of three sons. He studied civil engineering in Krakow and then moved to Chicago, where he graduated from the University of Illinois with a BS in computer science and from DePaul University with an MBA. At the age of 33, he realized that Jesus\u2019 earthly mission was coming to an end at that same age, yet what was he doing for Christ? This realization was followed by seven years of rediscovering Christ, and eventually led to leaving the world to follow Him more closely in the religious life. Fr Peter entered the Novitiate of the Legionaries of Christ in Cheshire, CT; obtained a BA in philosophy in Thornwood, NY, and a theology degree in Rome, Italy, from Regina Apostolorum University; and completed a one-year internship in vocational work in Louisiana. He was ordained to the diaconate in Indiana on Aug. 6, 2016, and ordained to the priesthood in Rome, Italy, on Dec. 10, 2016. Now he has been assigned to the Chicago community as the chaplain to the Regnum Christi men\u2019s and women\u2019s sections in Chicago and the Heartland locality (Des Moines, IA; Lincoln and Omaha, NE; Kansas City, MO; and St Louis, MO) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcheartland.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.rcheartland.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a20ef57 e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a20ef57\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bccce5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3bccce5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Books<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ccb94a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3ccb94a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-435d59c uael-equal__height-yes uael-post__link-complete-yes uael-posts-thumbnail-ratio elementor-widget elementor-widget-uael-posts\" data-id=\"435d59c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;classic_slides_to_show&quot;:5,&quot;classic_slides_to_show_laptop&quot;:5,&quot;classic_slides_to_show_tablet&quot;:3,&quot;classic_slides_to_show_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;classic_pagination_type&quot;:&quot;ajax&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"uael-posts.classic\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-blog-terms-position- uael-post-image-top uael-post-grid uael-posts\" data-query-type=\"custom\" data-structure=\"normal\" data-layout=\"\" data-page=\"186403\" data-skin=\"classic\" data-filter-default=\"\" data-offset-top=\"30\" >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post-grid__inner uael-post__columns-5 uael-post__columns-tablet-3 uael-post__columns-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"uael-post-wrapper   book \">\n\t<div class=\"uael-post__bg-wrap uael-bg-wrap-disabled \">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/a-new-relationship-to-embrace\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"uael-post__complete-box-overlay\" aria-label=\"Link Complete Box\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__inner-wrap uael-inner-wrap-disabled\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/a-new-relationship-to-embrace\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"A New Relationship to Embrace\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FPK-book-1.png\" width=\"880\" height=\"1360\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-186592 lazyload\" alt=\"\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"1360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FPK-book-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-186592\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FPK-book-1.png 880w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FPK-book-1-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FPK-book-1-776x1200.png 776w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FPK-book-1-768x1187.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__content-wrap uael-content-wrap-disabled\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uael-post__title\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/a-new-relationship-to-embrace\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\tA New Relationship to Embrace\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-post__meta-data\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-post__author\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/author\/pkrezalek\/\" rel=\"author\">Fr.
