Hi friends,

It’s been 9 years down the road

9 beautiful years of priestly life and ministry

9 years of priestly ups, downs, anxieties and uncertainties

9 years of priestly joys and sorrows

9 years of celebrating the Sacred Mysteries

9 years of interceding for God’s Holy People

9 years of lifting anointed hands at God’s Altar

9 years of feeding God’s people with the word and sacrament

In the end, says the Apostle Paul, we have this treasure (the sacred priesthood) in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us (2Cor 4:7 Brackets mine).

Thank you, Lord for these 9 years.

Make this human heart Christlike through the years.

Lead Kindly Light!
