Today was a full day, but a very good one. I was able to join the eighth grade graduates of St. Mary’s School for Mass and lunch this morning. Milestone events are exciting in the lives of our young people. I am grateful for their parents, their teachers, and the school administrators which made today a beautiful experience.
Then it was meetings for the afternoon with some magnificent ministers from across the diocese. I was enriched by their enthusiasm and insights. We are fortunate to have such wonderful people serving God’s people.
There are days when the challenges and frustrations of ministry take a toll, and then there are days like today that remind me of the goodness of God.
