WEEKLY REFLECTION

Darkness and Light

10-13-2024 | Very Rev. Richard C. Wilson, VF, Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

So, on Friday, October 6th, I was at the rectory eating my lunch. Still, without power, I had warmed some meatloaf, carrots, and potatoes in a pan (from a very generous and giving parishioner) along with some homemade bread and a tomato. Normally I do not eat meat on Fridays, but this was what I had, so I enjoyed it and did my penance later for eating meat on a Friday.
