The Homestretch!




Five months ago I left Queens Village and Incarnation to begin my sabbatical experience and in a week I shall be home again.  Tremendous graces and blessings I have enjoyed these past months.  They have been varied and rich:  Solesmes, Lourdes, the Camino, Travels.  Even more memorable have been the people I've encountered along the way.  Their goodness and kindness, as their openness to let me enter their lives, their homes, their worlds, can have a renewing aspect as to the goodness of God’s creation.


As my time winds down I still have to visit Breukelen in the Netherlands and Chartres, France with it’s majestic cathedral.  Breukelen is of course the namesake of the place where I was born.  Charters Cathedral reminds me of the desire to reach for the heavens and to long for God by offering Him the Perfect Sacrifice and serving Him in His People.


I am very ready to return and continue my ministry in the Diocese of Brooklyn with God's People. 


So as the homestretch begins I am indeed stretching for home.
