Smelly Woolly Ragged Sheep

deep into the heart of prayer

to teach, to practice, a walking sacrament!

we met at Mundelien

he was on his journey into Mary's wise and loving arms

a deacon then, now a priest in the service of her Son

there is no higher calling than to be a shepherd

to care for, admonish, pray with, to serve the sheep

i feel much better now that Fr. Greg has his shepherd's staff

there is grace, honesty, encouragement and laughter when we talk over the phone

one day, God willing, i will be in Wisconsin to visit

i will sit and make a confession

and by the power of the Holy Spirit

he will absolve me, the smelly woolly ragged sheep that i am

in the line of the Apostles, he now does the work Jesus gives every Apostle to do

"whoever sins you forgive are forgiven..."--Jesus

Isn't it amazing how God chooses to help us in the journey?
