Today would have been my Dad's birthday. I was with him when he took his laugh breath. It is a blessing, and the luck of good timing to be with someone you love when they take their last breath. They are going on an important journey from this way of life to a new way of life and it is good to have someone there to say goodbye and I love you and thank you for your life. These many years later, I still ask my Dad to pray for me in the gift of life I have on this side of my last breath.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
