It is with a grateful heart I celebrate this Mass for the
occasion of the second anniversary of being ordained a priest (which occurs
tomorrow).
What
a blessing to be with three of my best friends [Zach and Nikki Bennett with
their daughter Gemma and Jeremy Vidmar].
Without the love, prayers and support of friends like you my journey
through seminary and now as a priest would not be possible.
Over
the years we have shared how complementary the vocations to the priesthood and
marriage are. It is so healthy for
me to walk with holy families like you.
I am inspired by your dedication to your spouse, children and God as I
serve God as a priest. I pray that
the priests in your lives may inspire you as well.
Know
of my prayers of gratitude for you this day as I am ever grateful for the
greatest gift God has given me—the priesthood.
