It goes without saying that I will be ready to move wherever and whenever the archbishop decides, but I don't foresee him moving me about from place to place every couple of months. I feel like I've only just started. I know that I still have formation to go through, but I'm itching for some more stable ministry.
So, to the folks at Our Lady of Guadalupe, when I say to you over the next few days that I'll miss you and I'll miss being here (as I also miss the people in Enterprise), know that I really mean it. I've only just begun to get to know you. I want to do more! I want to stay longer!
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and endure another year in Rome...

check out this amazing song:
ReplyDeleteNo Greater Love
This song was inspired by all the priests who have touched our lives, showing us no greater love.
*****
Why does he have to go?
When he has made a home
Right here in our hearts
A father he has been to us
He’s won our love, He’s gained our trust
We fear to be apart
But what if Jesus stayed in just one town
Think of all the lost who would never have been found
Never have been found
No greater love has a man
Than to lay his life down for his friends
As a living sacrifice
The embodiment of Christ
No greater love have we now
Than to let him go, and hold him out
For the gift he’s been to us
We offer back to God above
No greater love
Father, if it be Your will
This cup could pass by still
But we surrender all to You
Unless a seed falls down and dies
There could never be new life
But the seed that falls will bear much fruit
What if Jesus stayed in just one town
Think of all the lost who would never have been found
never have been found
As we drink this bitter cup
God will lift us up
For those who die with Christ
Will be raised to new life
