We are having a mission at our parish this week: Journey to Joy.

It started yesterday and finishes tomorrow. What a lovely way to join together as a community in praise and song. It’s just what I needed at this very moment in time. Funny how those things work. I’m sorry that my kids and dear spouse can’t attend, but we have a very full plate this week (play dress rehearsals, opening night, etc.). I feel the refueling I’m getting is enough to help us all get through all that’s ahead. I’m so grateful for all those hardworking people who put the whole thing together. What a blessing. I’m also so thankful for such a wonderful pastor and parish community.

Ah. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
