Our prayers are with all the Friars as they venture down south. May God abundantly bless all of you always.

 

Thank you for the hope filled message concerning the World Youth Day in Germany. I sincerely hope that you are right about the hopeful future. Tom

 

I love hearing the many varied stories of World Youth Day in Cologne. Thank you for sharing one of yours, Fr Luke (Sep 9). These young people will be taking the reins someday of the Church (under the direction of the Holy Spirit, of course). May they stay as inspired and full of His Spirit as they were during their stay in Germany. When they return home, the euphoria feeling will wane, as it should. But at the core, if they retain the love of the Eucharist and the other sacraments, that is what's important. From there, they will live and do according to God's will. ...Nancy in Michigan
