Last Friday marked the annual Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests. It also denoted the end of the Year for Priests which has been celebrated throughout the Catholic world. While the official end to this Year of prayer and celebration was marked with particularly poignant reflections from the Holy Father himself, more local celebrations are still taking place.
One of the local Councils of the Knights of Columbus organized a special supper last evening and invited the priests of the various parishes with which they are affiliated. This act of generosity on their part allowed us all to share a moment of friendship and to break bread together. It's moments like this that afford us the opportunity to get caught up with each other as well as to be strengthened in our resolve by the magic that seems to happen when humans take the time to spend a moment or two together.
With gratitude to our brothers for taking this initiative and for sharing it with us.
