Our parish mission is this week, and Fr Gavin Griffith, who’s leading it, said the Masses this weekend. His sermon touched on several things, including his two favorite prayers, the Serenity Prayer and Fr Mychal Judge's prayer.
Father Mychal's Prayer:
Lord, take me where You want me to go;
Let me meet who You want me to meet;
Tell me what You want me to say
And keep me out of Your way.

Most of us first heard of Father Mychal Judge, "the saint of 9/11", from that iconic photo of his body being carried from Ground Zero.
Yet even prior to his heroic death on 9/11, Father Mychal was widely seen by many New Yorkers as a living saint for his deep spirituality and his extraordinary work not only with firefighters -- but with the homeless, recovering alcoholics, people with AIDS, immigrants, gays and lesbians, and others rejected by society.
This annoyed some in the church hierarchy. But like his spiritual father St. Francis of Assisi, Mychal reported directly to a Higher Authority, as evidenced by several miraculous healings through him.
