 "Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I no longer call you servants, I call you friends.’"  JN 15:15

My Dear Friends!
Where did the time go?!  Too little and not enough!  Through the good and the bad, you have kept the faith and nourished and strengthened mine. We all have to face and live with our doubts each day in so many ways. But we never have to do so alone. We have the Revelation of God in Christ and each other to see us through. THANK YOU ALL for seeing me through. In every way. Whenever I leave a parish assignment for another, I'm always painfully aware of my shortcomings, mistakes, failings and sins while I was there. Now is no different.
The kindnesses and mercies you have shown me will be forever remembered with gratitude and prayer.  Never ever underestimate your God-Given gifts to make good things
happen in bad situations. It's clear to me it's a singular strength of character within the Parish itself. Praised be God!

I'm deliberately speaking to the parishes of both Saint John Paul II and Saint Mary's as one. We are all one in The One Who Is All, God. Everything else is about geography. So my prayer for all of you is the prayer of Jesus. "Dearest Father in Heaven, I pray that they may all be one, as you and I are one. That our joy may be in them and their joy may be full." Amen.
With every good wish and blessing, love your friend,
Steve XOXO
