Yea, well, I can wept at the drop of a hat these days but this really affected me this morning.  Our beloved Father Marc the priest at St. John Vianney Parish is leaving for a new assignment.  I guess it has been seven years that he has been here.  But he was my first priest.  I gave him a hug and told him I would miss him.

Well, it will be a new day for us at the church.  Luckily I don’t think that we have to share him with another parish or mission like so many places do.  I guess we are so isolated with the ferry and all they figure that one place is enough.  OK, yes of course I will welcome him.  We will learn something different from a new personality.

I think it was General deGaulle that said on his retirement that no one is indispensable.  That stands for us to of course.   What is the positive side of that?   Well we, ego animals that we are think that we have to do every darn thing all by ourselves.  But in reality we are N important  part of the Cloud of Believers, the Flow of Pilgrims and the Communion of Saints and we don’t have to do it all.   We are not supposed to do it all.  We are an indispensable part of but not indispensable.  I think that makes sense.

Yup, time to go.  Happy Mother’s to All the Mom’s!  indispensable love, Felipe.
