It gave my family a bit of perspective that this happened during the time the Missionary priest was here. It made us think about the conditions that Catholics around the world endure in order to receive Holy Communion. brockkrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088961740952800731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-76253653234914546802016-07-25T08:33:49.486-07:002016-07-25T08:33:49.486-07:00Dear Father,

We ended up at St A in Barberton at 5:15. I provided one of my least productive worships in mass in YEARS because my head wasn't in the right place...<br /><br />And then I swap out memory cards in the sacristy this morning and see Fr. L as a glowing ball of sweat. And Deacon Terry as an equally glowing ball of sweat. And glowing visiting priests, and glowing seminarians, and glowing acolytes...<br /><br />And to think I was feeling sorry for myself because I had to attend one of the other 100 masses that the Church provides locally for me on a Sunday. While sitting in air conditioning.<br /><br />God seems to provide regardless of whether or not I want to be thankful for it.
