July 1
I am graduating this afternoon. That's right. I am concluding a two year course in Good Leaders Good Shepherds. It is a program all about being a better shepherd to God's People, being a better pastor. I hope that I will be. I hope that I have been a reasonably good priest and pastor these past 36 years. Aware of my limitations, I have tried hard. Perhaps with some new tools I can improve on the limitations, the weaknesses, the faults.
The GLGS Program has laid the foundation for a good priests' support group. I hope this develops.
In this Year of the Priest, pray for me and all priests. Just completing retreat and now GLGS coincides with this special year. Providential not coincidental!
Pax et Bonum!
