RESURFACING:

After the recent particularly busy and demanding few weeks, I feel I am gradually resurfacing. It is sometimes difficult to take stock and determine the priorities, even though I feel that now I should be long enough in the tooth to have learnt how to cope. Once again I do appreciate the fact that you are aware of the demands placed upon our diminishing and aging Redemptorist Community: it was lovingly expressed in virtually all the greetings I received for my 80th birthday. So, a huge ‘thank you’ and once again let’s move forward confidently, knowing that ultimately we are caught up not just in our own little world, but in the great mystery of Christ’s redeeming presence: a mission that simply cannot fail.
