It was all about Christians being persecuted in Aleppo, Erbil, Syria, Asia Bibi's family spoke, Kayla Mueller's parents spoke. It was chilling-the extent of the atrocities - and no response from the West! It is outrageous. And now this mass immigration of Muslims! and no Christians...<br />Some of the parishes in these awful places showed their faith- like that of the early Christians - in a way we can hardly understand. They can die, be killed, tortured, taken into slavery, be asked to convert, deny Jesus Christ- at any moment. They have a joy in the midst of fear, hunger, danger that only comes from life in Christ. They did express great sorrow at being forgotten by the rest of the world, especially Christians in the West.<br />I applaud your parish priest. I hope you & your parish have some way of supporting him either materially or in prayer, or by bringing attention to this genocide taking place. God bless him, and God bless all of us. We are next.christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116852732212653340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-61961791459519342612016-09-26T08:55:49.529-04:002016-09-26T08:55:49.529-04:00This was before Summorum, under the indult.

Felt the same way about our former pastor who "left us" to be the Diocesan Vocations Director. I miss him and am grateful for every word exchanged between us, whether in chastisement or edification. He showed mercy with truth.<br />What a fine tribute to Fr. Gerald. I will add him to my list of holy priests prayed for daily.nancyvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715645012739990085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-71755659930727687352016-09-25T15:48:08.698-04:002016-09-25T15:48:08.698-04:00Meh.

His ministry was not perfect. He was painfully human. That's life. That's priesthood and Father G would not contest it. But thank you for your concern for his reputation.
