On this Father’s Day weekend, I would like to thank you, Fr. Mike, for your spiritual fatherhood and for your leadership of this community of faith!

Let us carry the Eucharistic to those who are poor and marginalized.

In the midst of this weekend of grace and joy, let us beseech Mary to open her immaculate, maternal heart to us, so that we may encounter the heart of Christ, her Son, and that we may share in the overflowing love of his heart.

If you follow the Church’s liturgical calendar, then you know that we are celebrating a Mass in honor of the Sacred Heart exactly one week before the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

So let us continue our pilgrimage today and through the intercession of Blessed Michael, may our time together produce the good fruit of the Gospel for our jurisdictions, councils, and fellow chaplains.

Sharing as we do in a friendship that transcends the narrow confines that often hem us in, let us strive to see the Cor initiative as the one thing that will unify and animate every worthy goal that each of you, our State Deputies, has set for yourselves in the coming year.

First it is good to be together, thanks for taking the time to come to New Haven to meet with the Supreme Knight and his co-workers together with your State Deputies. It is also good for us as Chaplains to meet among ourselves.
