THE PADRE'S PORTION 

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Brothers and Sisters; This past week I attended an In-Service for the Diocese of Gallup. It is a meeting where various helpful information is brought to the priests in an atmosphere of community. Unlike the workplace, it is not a place of 'policy pushing' or the expression of politics. It is about the Bishop's fatherly concern to assist his priests to be better priests. This reminds me of what it means to be a priest. The heart of the priest desires to help 'his sheep' to be better Christians. In a more accurate phrase, to help them be better human persons. It is a must that the priests are united with our Bishop. There must be a quality of unity between the Father (our bishop) and his Sons (the priests). I hope as a priest, over the parishes of St Joseph and Holy Trinity, that part of my energy goes to making our brothers and sisters feel like better human persons. Have you noticed the similarity between the word 'unity' and 'community' ?  They both point to one-ness. The one-ness is not only about being together; but also about being united by Christ our Head.
