"May your protection, O Lord, we pray,
defend the humble
and keep ever safe those who trust in your mercy,
that they may celebrate the paschal festivities
not only with bodily observance
but above all with purity of mind.
Through Christ our Lord."
These next few days are days of quieting of our lives, quieting of mind and heart, so that the Triduum may bring forth within us the sacredness of the mysteries that we celebrate.
These days of Holy Week 2017 are precious to me in that they will be my last in active ministry. My retirement from pastoral assignments is quickly approaching, as is my seventieth birthday. The date for retirement is not yet set, but will probably be close to July 1st. Pray for me ... and pray for the people of this great parish family.
