Blessed are you God of all creation, God of love and mercy. As we meet today as the executive committee of the Catholic foundation we are aware of the reality around us. We are beginning this holy season of Lent as disciples of Christ in the midst of a very challenging and difficult reality: in the midst of a pandemic that is still afflicting our county and the world and that is causing us to meet virtually rather than in person; in the midst of a terrible winter storm that is harming many people here in Mississippi and throughout the country. Be with us today in the midst of our reality in our service to the Catholic Foundation and to Bishop Kopacz and to the Catholic Diocese of Jackson. Help us to have the hearts of servant disciples. Help us to work in collaboration with the Diocese and its goals. Lead us and guide us in the important decisions we have to make. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. AMEN.
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.
