| Fr. Tim Sabbatical Notes: |
| 1) Please remember to offer prayers for the soul of Dr. Wilbert Keon and for the consolation of his family in the wake of his death. Dr. Keon was a man of outstanding blessing to literally thousands of people who benefited from his skills as a physician and his commitment to his friends and neighbours. May God richly reward him for his life of service and bless his wife and family during their time of grief. 2) My time down here in Baltimore is approaching its end as I begin my last month of my sabbatical. As much as I am looking forward to coming home I cannot help feeling a tinge of regret as I start to face that journey given the insights, graces, and blessings I have received during this time of study. But if my study of friendship has taught me anything, it’s that living in the presence of one’s friends is necessary to benefit from all the blessings they offer to me. Please continue to pray that I will make the best of the time I have left here in Baltimore so that I will enjoy all the more the friendships we enjoy when we are gathered together in our parish communities. 3) This coming week and weekend are the most solemn in our Church calendar. It’s for that reason that it’s referred to as ‘Holy Week’. While my absence means that there will not be a full week of services and masses available to you, please take advantage of those that will be held in Pembroke. In particular, the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral and the services of Holy Thursday and Good Friday are such occasions where attending at a Pembroke church will be of great benefit. Please remember that you can always use your church envelopes in their collections as they will be forwarded home to us for use in your particular parish. May this be truly a blessed and Holy Week for all of us! 4) Here’s an interesting quote from ‘Becoming Friends’ by Paul Wadell for your consideration: “To speak of friendship with God can sound so cozy and consoling, as if we are all snuggling up to God; however, there is no riskier vulnerability than to live in friendship with God, because every friendship changes us, because friends have expectations of each other, and because friends are said to be committed to the same things.” |
