I enjoyed the Communion hymn “Be Born in Me” so much. It is so
beautiful and meaningful and well done. Also Fr. Jerry’s remarks on
holiness in his homily. He always hits the mark and has such spiritual
depth that always reinforces us that we are on the right track.
Thank you so much for all the beautiful masses each week.
Devastating news about online masses being canceled. I live in New Jersey and look forward to hearing mass with you. You are like family to me. Will the music continue somehow. Father, please try to continue these masses. There must be a way. Thank you all and I’ll pray for you.
I too am devastated by the discontinuation of our special online masses. I don’t know why they had to stop – Father Jerry, I didn’t understand your message explaining this. If there is ANY way for them to continue, please do so. It really has been my re-entrance to church.
I pray all is well with everyone – and please know you touched me DEEPLY in my innermost sanctuary space.
