I can't tell you how much that helps me.<br /><br />And Fr. Alfonse, I am so thankful for this blog and for your reflection, especially after no homily (even with such beautiful readings!) AND on the day of the Oscars — what a perfect way to refocus tonight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-46943197298449756622011-02-27T18:00:50.533-06:002011-02-27T18:00:50.533-06:00Dear Fr. Alfonse-
I was so disappointed when the ...Dear Fr. Alfonse-<br /><br />I was so disappointed when the sermon time was taken up with fund-raising. . . . .again. . . .and also when the anointing of the sick at First Friday Mass was cancelled. <br /><br />I had gotten so bummed out that I was contemplating reducing my donations to the minimum. I had already sent my e-check to the Bishop's fund and regretted it.<br /><br />Then you gave a silent sermon, reverently elevating the Host long enough for me to hear the Lord speaking to my heart, "This is what is important. The Eucharist. Nothing else is important. I Myself will supply all of your needs. The silliness of two bishops will not interfere. . . . "<br /><br />Then I remembered how the Lord had put up with MY silliness, MY vanity and self-centeredness, my need to have things my own way, my need to have the best stuff, my reluctance to make a sacrifice. . . . .<br /><br />By the time I went to Communion, I was in tears and at peace.<br /><br />Thank you for your "silent sermon", your mini-sermon while purifying the vessels, and this blog.<br /><br />Thank you for being a faithful Servant of the Lord!<br /><br />With affection and respect,<br />Jan NathanJannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-49893403109700311772011-02-27T13:41:25.472-06:002011-02-27T13:41:25.472-06:00I'm going to meditate on my Lenten sacrifice t...I'm going to meditate on my Lenten sacrifice this year.

I think one of the problems I have is trying to let go of my problems to give them to to The Lord and be patient with the outcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
