My Journey to God

My Letter to Priests

Dear Fathers,
The “Year for Priests”
Soon comes to an end.
It’s been good to spend this time
In thoughtful reflection of you,
In recognition of you,
In gratitude
To all priests among us now,
And to those passed,
To the ones I’ve known,
To the ones I’ve never met.

How abundantly I’ve been blessed
By your witness, service
And holiness,
And I would be remiss
If I didn’t say that
The Love and Light of Christ
Burns bright in more hearts today
Than did yesterday
Because of you.
