God Bless You Father John

Today I celebrated one of the most pinnacle days in my priesthood.  I got to witness and be a part of a young man's ordination, vesting him with chasuble and stole before God's holy altar.  This young man, now "Father John" I met ten years ago.  God used me as an instrument during the process of his conversion to God and to choose the heart of Jesus.  The young man never looked back.  He kept pushing forward.  Today, after almost 24 years of priesthood, I now understand a little more of God's blessings and the loving heart of Jesus!  I am blessed and truly grateful.
