A Friday Afternoon Sentiment
"Since from his bounty I receive such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand tongues to give, Lord, they should all be thine." --Samuel Stennett, 1787 (Hymnal 1940, #353)
Father Dan,
ReplyDelete(no doubt confirmed bishop soon)
None deserve nor have borne witness with more steadfastness than you.
If it weren't for the fact that Illinois was such a politically intolerable place, I'd move there now just to rest in your pastoral care.
(though I might just be stuck anyway as my wife's family lives in Champaign)
Anyway, I'm sure you're gonna be:
O melhor bishop para fora lá
(or whatever in the heck the episcopal equivalent of: "mais grande no mundo"
as my carioca wife says)
All the Best
