Dear Parish Family:
I awoke that August morning at the hut in the mountains to rain and wind. After a hearty breakfast, I proceeded above tree line into the clouds and mist. The trail was rough; and at times, the eight miles seemed like eighty. Along the way, I met a number of hikers bound for the same overnight destination. One group was a family from our area who were kind enough to “adopt” me as one of their own. We were all fueled with the same hope and promise of a delicious meal and a restful night. These family members share our ancestral faith and a relationship with Abram whose faith serves as an example for us as well. The closest friends of Jesus accompanied him on a mountain hike into the clouds. They heard a voice and saw a vision of their goal. Mountain experiences are essential in the spiritual life to spur us on to persevere through the challenges we face as individuals and as a people. We often want to take short cuts or avoid the hike altogether; but Paul reminded the people of Philippi not to be enemies of the cross but to continue on the journey. As we make the “stations” during Lent and identify our struggles with those of Jesus, we are reminded that “our citizenship is in heaven.” Our goal is spelled out in these words:

“He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself” (Philippians 3:21).

Blessed St. Patrick’s Day,
Father Bill Foley
