I’ve been on a journey as a Deacon. Hard to believe it’s been almost 18 and a half years of serving others. This trek has allowed me to meet and be there for so many people. It is a blessing to bring the Eucharist to them.
But I have also learned from those I visit. They share so much about their faith and families. We always join in formal prayer. A deeper connection with God is very evident too. Sometimes it’s unspoken. Other times it is not.
There’s one who shares a farewell whenever I say goodbye. I’ve heard it many times, but it really has me thinking and reflecting recently. Three simple words we all can offer to each other when we part. Maybe try it. “Go with God!”
After reading Pope Francis’ new encyclical, I’m sensing a connectedness to the expression just above in the title. Two Latin words: DILEXIT NOS. “He loved us.”
Peace,
Deacon Tom
