"Paul, you are so right. We had people praying all over the world for my wife. She was 39, a mother of 9! This made/makes no sense! You hit the nail on the head when you said "you just need to look harder to understand what that miracle…"

Happy Father's Day everyone! I hope you were able to enjoy the day with your families.
The Mass readings for Father's Day were perfect. In the first reading, David gets a message from God through the prophet Nathan for taking Bathsheba as his own and then killing her husband Uriah the Hittite. What does he get? Forgiven. In Luke's gospel, Jesus is having dinner with a Pharisee when a sinful woman comes in, interrupts the party, anoints Jesus, kisses his feet, cries and dry's his feet…

I wasn't prepared for the emotions that would rise up in me as a result. After having dinner with him Monday night and taking him back to the hotel where all the recruits were staying, he was very somber. I knew he was tired but somber I wasn't expecting. We texted that night a…

I also lost my wife to cancer, so I know what that is like. Thanks for connecting. You have my understanding, and I send love and encouragement your way today.
