Welcome to my Blog. I hope you enjoy the different writings. Please be aware these are often rough outlines of reflections and homilies. Often not present are the illustration stories, these are usually chosen just prior to the Mass or Service. For those who follow regularly and attend the Masses I preach you can readily see the basis and metamorphosis from text to spoken word. If you are offended, great! Sort of!! It means you are reading closely but please read closer still. I have one interest, your peace in this life and your salvation unto eternal life.
