Jesus is Here!
WHY do our souls become tepid and weak, cold and sleepy?
The answer in part is because we often do not stay near the “Sun” of God, most especially, near to where He is: the Eucharist. It is precisely in the Eucharist that you and I—like St. John—will find the grace and strength to “stand beneath the Cross”…
Sorrow of Sorrows
Dear friends, I am preparing a meditation for tomorrow, and in the process, the Lord led me back to this writing. It is truly the “now word” in my heart, in the hearts of many. There are several elements in this single writing which I will unfold in days to come. We have now begun to live the Time of times, the Sorrow of sorrows… but do not forget, it will lead us to the Joy of joys!

I'm Deacon John, age 86, ordained 4/25/87 as a Permanent Deacon for the Diocese of Brooklyn.
