Who Died and Made Me????? God?

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.

Love Is Everything

-- Ronan Bennett, The Catastrophist
