“Pray. In my 70th year as a vowed Passionist, 64th as a priest and 91st since my birth, I find myself with a limited ministry. My legs get tired rather quickly and are not as nimble as they were in the days of softball, football and more! But my general health is good. I can still take care of Marriage Encounter Weekends, attend the meeting of the Community of Passionist Partners here in Chicago, be at all the community prayer sessions and service the Provincial House of the Resurrection Sisters when asked.

My principal endeavor is to keep up with the requests for Paulacrucian data and to prepare the spiritual teachings of St. Paul of the Cross for wider distribution. If I have an assignment it would be to pray for the well-being of the Province and Congregation. I have the time and I hope I use it well!

Many in this community are engaged in very demanding ministries - IC parish, hospital chaplaincies - we are happy to have members to forth on parish missions. And our superiors have the heavy duty of guiding us into a new future.”
