So many of you went out of your way with prayers, pies plus plenty of big surprises. Some of you left a most incredibly generous gift in my garage, leaving a few of my friends green with envy. I cannot begin to thank you enough for treating your priests so much better than we deserve to be treated, for your love and all the many blessings which you beg for us from heaven.
It is almost the universal lot of fathers to be entrusted with the care and welfare of those whom they know to be superior to them in a great many ways. The fathers who seek to understand the mysterious ways of the Lord will come to understand that this conundrum is on purpose; it will inspire the magnanimous to better holier than they ever would have on their own. Being the father of good children hopefully will make dad eventually worthy of the admiration that sometimes weighs heavily on him.
Pray that dads seek out good fathers who already have trod the road toward holiness. Pray that we seek out St. Joseph to be a model of virtue, of generosity, of chastity, of sacrifice and also of a holy death. Pray that like St. Joseph all dads understand that the children entrusted to us really belong to God, that we are but temporary helpers who have only a limited time in which to model the love, wisdom, power and mercy of God the Father.
On behalf of Father McAfee, Father Thompson and Father Cozzi I thank you from the bottom of my heart and promise you our prayers of gratitude and assure you that all those calories will not go to waist&hellips; err waste.
St. Joseph, foster father of Our Lord, pray for us!
God bless you.
Rev. Christopher J. Pollard
