My Journey to God

Remembering Msgr. Moran

A frequent visitor to our inner-city home,
Fr./Monsignor Moran always a
welcome guest.
Sunday evening discussions of faith
and family,
I sought to absorb his love for God.
This humble priest and servant
a special family blessing did give
whatever the hour he departed.
There were trips to Rockville to
visit him there.
He pastored all with diligence and concern,
a dedicated shepherd to his flock.
A joyful spirit, passionate and true,
a faithful teacher
of the Way, the Truth and the Life.
So many lives touched through years
of selfless giving,
my last visit a little lantern he gave:
“Be a light in the world,” he said,
… and so he is still.
