Thanks

Thank you, one and all, for visiting this blog over the last few months. I hope some things have been of benefit.  Please feel free to share any ideas or comments. As we share in the ministry of preaching, I would like to invite you to pray for all who are finding this ministry challenging. No one finds it effortless, and it can be easy to get discouraged.

I am reminded of a story of the Cure of Ars: Once, the great Dominican Lacordaire visited Ars. When we got back home he was asked what he thought of the simple curate. He replied that when he preached in Notre Dame or any other wonderful place, people would leave the place and say "How great is Lacordaire!" When people leave the chapel at Ars, after the Cure has been in the rickety old broken pulpit they say "How great is God!"

May Christ bless our hearts and mind so that we may proclaim his holy Gospel.
