It is difficult many times for me to approach all that I have to do in my roles as vicar general, pastor of two parishes, and prison chaplain. However, I am very grateful for the many different diverse opportunities that I have as a priest. This upcoming week, I was scheduled to attend the Pontifical Mission Society conference in Puerto Rico. However, due to my busy schedule and all the duties I have here at the two parish and in the Diocese, I had to cancel going to this conference and another regional conference in New Orleans the first week of December. While it would have been wonderful to go to those two events, I must say that I feel relieved being able to concentrate on all I have going on here in Mississippi. We all have to make sacrifices for our faith in different ways. I know that a lot of our parents are constantly making sacrifices to have their children grow up in the faith. Even though I am not able to attend those conferences, I am grateful for all the opportunities I have to serve God here in the Diocese and in our two parishes in Raymond and Clinton. Blessings to all of you - have a blessings week. Father Lincoln.
