Dear Parishioners,
I owe everything to my priesthood. I remember as a kid how Sammy Sosa, the Chicago Cubs slugger, would always say when interviewed, “baseball has been very, very good to me.” Well, I would repeat that: “God has been very, very good to me.” Hopefully you would say that too.
Dear Parishioners,
I love walking. I know many of you do too. Maybe not so much in this weather, but, in general, walking is an activity I enjoy. I prefer walking much more to running, and yet I run more than I walk. Oh well, maybe I’ll figure that out some day.
Dear Parishioners,
“I saw the spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him,” says John the Baptist when describing Jesus whom he had baptized. Very interesting. One of the signs of the Messiah was that the spirit remained upon the man.
