Holy Friendship
On this Sixth Sunday of Easter, Jesus reminds us of the call to Love one another that is an essential quality for us as his disciples and our need to lay down our lives for one another. In fact he tells us that he no longer calls us slaves, but us his friends!...
One Final Note
Last Sunday I shared words of gratitude for your many prayers since the first Sunday of Lent and my medical condition. They were my source of strength during the last couple of month and what worked the ‘miracle’ of my physical restoration 10 days ago. As I mentioned, my oncologist/urologist said that it was the power of prayer that made the difference. For 24 hours I thought: ‘now I have more time to give of myself to my ministry here at Saint Stephen, until I received the phone call from the Oblate Provincial in Washington DC where he informed me that our Superior General in Rome had just given me an additional assignment for the Oblate work in our country as ‘Provincial Councilor at Large’ for the United States.
Although I will continue to serve you as Pastor here at St. Stephen, I will be part of the Provincial Administration for the United States, which will be calling me to work beyond our parochial boundaries various times throughout the year for a week at a time. The first one happens tomorrow Monday, where I have to attend a special meeting in Texas with the other members of our religious congregation. I know that our community will be in good hands with Fr. George and Fr. Paul during those absences, as well as under the faithful lay leaders and ministers here at St. Stephens. God bless each and every one of you and know that you are all in my prayers.
