The older I get and the longer I am a priest, the more I sense the primary need for kindness. So often I have discovered much later the real facts or motivations behind peoples' actions. That placed things in a new light. As I grow in my faith and also mature, I get better at that. Forgive me if I have ever pre-judged, or snapped or not paid attention.  Mea culpa!  I can only hope that despite my flaws I have served you well with devotion, creativity and most of all...faith in Jesus Christ.
