I recently attended a workshop for clergy on using electronic medium for evangelization. I broached this subject to our parish council and our web master is investigating possibilities for our parish. Meantime, I came across an article in Today's Parish magazine that suggested that pastors should blog. And so, here I am, trying my hand at it, figuring since it is a New Year, why not?
Today I concelebrated the funeral of a priest I have known since I was a child. He was a pastor in a neighboring parish, someone who always seemed genuinely concerned about me and my family, in my early days in seminary and after ordination as well. At our priest Christmas gathering this past Sunday, the Archbishop mentioned the failing health of this priest, that he was in paliative care. And, as it turned out, he went to his eternal reward that very night, the Feast of the Epiphany. How appropriate. He had followed the Light, which is Christ, all his life and now shares in the glories of the Resurrection. May he rest in peace!
