Hi, Fr. Joe,
So good to see you and to hear you! I am praying to Blessed Don Alvaro del Portillo and to Blessed Padre Serra for a miracle to be sent your way. I am impatient for it!
Merry Christmas from us all!
Oh Father Joe…to hear your heartfelt, gentle voice and Godly teachings as such a blessing.The here and now so important. How often have we missed God’s nudging because we were worried about tomorrow. I sat in Bravo burger,looking at the picture of the Mission, hearing your voice,remembering our God moments but know and staying right with every word, because my Hee and now Was with you!#I love you. I’ll be listening to all your teachings my brother.hugs.
Reflecting with Fr. Joe,
As now you know, at first the news of yourv physical death, invited a deeep unrequited loving loss in sadness aqnd heart pain. When sharing this with Jennifer and remebering our plans with you to provide a special blessing on our marital relationship on our next Cinco de Mya anniversary, she simply stated, “Let’s pray”. As I am continuing through my tears in the here-and-now and latter meditating in the Adoration Chapel that is signifcantly situated below or under your living space, the visalization of your heartfelt smile that you give and in the multitude of endless smiles that you receive, momentarily disolves my painful grief with this touch of “joy” as part of your legacy. It is through your words like “Create in me a clean heart, brushed free of frantic business, so that will have time to listen to you in the listening space of silence and solitude,” that this process may continue. With further reflections on our special collaborative times together, especially in the ‘sacred space’ located at the entrace to the Adoration Chapel and the carved in stone with St. Francis’s blessing you often gave us, I resolve to often pause to reflect on your legacy and the carved words, “Lord close the doora you do not want opened – Lord open all the doors you don’t want closed – Lead me to the Center of your perfect will.” I’m aware that you might now highlight the grace of syncronicity during this period of Lent as we recall the suffering and death of the Cross and the Joy of the Resurection with “I entrust you all to Mary, the beautiful Virgin Mother of God, whom Jesus, as He was hanging on the cross for love of us, gave us to be our mother also” and inviting us all to be our best versions of ourselves as true carriers of god’s love in the world.”
What a wonderful blessing, as part of your legacy you left us with video teachings here, your schorly writings as well as the “always forward” movie and other primers in the life and legacy of Blessed Junipero Serra. We look forward to your future publication (especially, your Memoirs).
Pax et Bonum,
Dr. Dave with Jennifer
