October is a month when we try to bring awareness to bullying. If you have ever been the victim of bullying, you know what I mean and I don't have to explain anything. I went to an inner city high school just outside of Los Angeles. The bullying and the pain I experienced almost everyday at that terrible place is something I hope I never have to experience again in my lifetime. At the time, it felt like the pain would never end. It also felt like there was nowhere to hide from it. I think a lot of us who go through experiences like that are almost afraid to admit it out of shame and embarrassment. That is why we all have to work toward ending bullying. It should never be tolerated.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
