I made it to church this morning after missing 2 weeks. When I walked in, I saw a friend who is a deacon, so we chatted a bit. As we did, a sweet little old man was talking to the priest and told him today was his 100th birthday. There was another deacon there who was just ordained yesterday. He announced that he would be serving in campus ministry at a college in the city. Ironically, a friend of mine will be the chaplain there. The new deacon was accompanied by 2 priests. One was a family friend from Alaska and one was a cousin who was ministering in a church in Russia. We prayed for them all during this Mass. The Gospel for today was the “Great Commission”, when Jesus told his followers to go out and make disciples of all nations. I thought each of these individuals was a beautiful example of doing just that. And I felt very blessed to be at Mass today.

I Found God today in the blessing of attending  Mass.
