Today is my birthday. I will go to a funeral today for a priest who died last week across the hall from me in our rectory. He was one month younger than me. He is gone and I am here. I have come to realize that life is a gift as I age. It is a gift not so much for me as it is a gift for others. I have a chance to be of some service to others, that they might have a better day because I am alive in it. Being also Palm Sunday weekend I will have the Evening service today. We celebrate someone who is a Gift to many people. The gift of life is not all about me, but all about all of us caring for one another. So once again you get a blog to read. And I get to open some birthday cards.
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!
