Peace be with you, my friends - and HOPE and JOY - even in the midst of unprecedented circumstance in the history of our country, if not, even the world.
We are all now challenged as not only Americans, but also as Christians to at last live out "the Golden Rule" on both accounts. We must each and every one live now "for the other" rather than for ourselves - and the more successfully we do that the healthier literally physically we will become once again, and spiritually we will grow by leaps and bounds.
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE! But, it's always been that way! There is only One Creator - who is UNCREATED LOVE - and he generously CHOSE TO CREATE out of his ESSENCE - the whole universe INCLUDING US - YOU AND ME! We are constituent parts of the very fabric of the universe, and which means of GOD, and OF ONE ANOTHER! YES WE ARE OUR NEIGHBOR'S KEEPER! We always have been - but now it is acutely critical that we really believe it, and live it out.
To that end I, as Abbot-Guardian (Protemp) of the Joyful Servants of the Cross - a fledgling group of nearly 15 years - will Live Stream as many of our daily prayer periods as possible - beginning with daily 9AM Mass. GOD and JESUS have chosen to nourish us in two ways at Mass: by the spiritual food of WORD! and Sacramental food of Transformed Bread and Wine. As a duly ordained Priest of the New Testament (45 years on May 3), I am empowered and commissioned to "confect" "make really present BOTH - as if God and Jesus were actually doing it themselves.
I hope that as you visit FACEBOOK daily you will stop in at 9AM - 11:00AM - 3PM - and 5:45PM - as we (both Br. Richard, who is in heaven now, and) I make public our private prayer times for the spiritual good of us all!
It may take me a few days to get the technical glitches worked out in the broadcasts - so be patient!
Thanks again, and May God Abundantly Bless and Protect You and Yours this holy day!
Father William Dinga (or religiously Father Peter Anthony, JSC)
