Remembering Those Who Have Passed Through These Pews

We are in the month of remembering those who have died. I have been thinking of all those people that have passed through the pews of my parish in the last nearly 40 years of my attendance. Hard to believe indeed. So many souls. We must pray for them. As we hope we will receive prayers when we are only memories to the next generation of our respective parishes. 

A Foretaste of My (Potential) Future

If we are fortunate, we will reach an old age. But that comes with its own sufferings for which we need to prepare, practically and spiritually. As someone who spends considerable time with the generation just ahead of me, I know that I have a lot of work to do spiritually, assuming I make it to their good age.
