Hello, I just wanted to send a quick message, because I heard something today I thought you all might appreciate. I had the unique opportunity to hear Bishop Anthony M. Pilla deliver a Homily today at St. John the Evangelist downtown. It was his Silver Jubilee of his episcopal ordination. Naturally in hearing someone of his stature speak I was very in-tuned to listen for words for wisdom and guidance. I wasn't disappointed. Of the many things he talked about, he shared a story that I found rather interesting. His story was about Mother Teresa, and a time when she was being interviewed by a rather famous reporter. He said the reporter was quick to point out to Mother Teresa, that for all her efforts and labors; little seemed to be getting done. Mother Teresa's reply to this was that at times, what is important is not that you were successful, what is important is that you have kept your faith. - -keep the faith. Whatever your endeavors may be; keep the faith. Hope that makes sense. Even if you're not religious, I hope you can see how this can apply and I hope you all understand why I thought it might be nice to share this with you. If I offended anyone, because this message has a religious tone to it, I do apologize. Hope all is well with each of you. Regards, Ed
