Beautiful Brian! Praying for all of your sons in the priesthood. Vocations are so needed and their path is so hard. Without good priest, we would all suffer. Thank you Jesus for calling these good young men to the service of Our Lord!
Brian, Beautiful photos, thank you for posting them. I was just thinking about frater Silvan and the other fraters at St. Michael’s Norbertine Abbey. They had sent me a Christmas card this year and I recently came across it. I am not one to throw things like that away. I believe that I was able to pick your son out in the photo which was another beautiful photo imho. I hope that you are doing well. My husband has a similar heart ailment to yours with an electrical problem in the left bundle branch, hopefully I am stating this correctly. He and his doctor have been monitoring him closely for a number of years now. I was going to reach out to you to get your opinion on this. Please feel free to pm if you have any recommendations for my husband. I am so glad to have read that you made it through the rough patch with this health issue. You and your family remain in my prayers along with all MOG members and their families. +
My oldest son Mike has discerned out of the Norbertine priesthood at St. Michael’s Abbey in Silverado CA. Please offer a prayer for him as he discerns his future plans. Due to the difficult situation in my family, I’m not able to say anything further at this time.
Praying for all of you Brian. A lot of families are suffering similar heartbreaking circumstances. Just be faithful and pray. Somethings only God can correct….and in His time. You’re already offering it up, and that will cover a multitude of issues. But still, it’s a daily struggle when your family is broken.
I understand HH because I’m living it too…as are my sons. A lot of damage to a lot of people because of the selfishness of just one person….their decisions negatively affected a lot of lives. God help them….
Praying Brian for Mike, your other children, your wife and you, in this difficult time. Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
