5/28/2026 THURSDAY OF THE EIGHTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIMEGreetings,

Greetings,

With all the trouble I have had with my computer it is nice to be able to send out these thoughts to you once again. But as I have said before, PATIENCE is a virtue and I have been scripting the bottom of the patience barrel.

Henri Nouwan tells us today, “Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are.” 

Well, there were times in the last few weeks that the “here and now” “got up and went.” Well, just another wrinkle in the garment. But that is what irons were invented for. Let us keep in mind what the Lord told us, “By your patience, you will win your souls.”  (Lk 21:19)

Peace and All Good,

Fr. Vinnie, fcm and the 

Bros and Srs of the 

Franciscan House of Prayer.
