A Request for Prayers and Patience

I ask my readers for your prayers – I’m having trouble with an old injury in my back. I hope to be back to my relatively normal state, but have not been able to keep up with my full schedule for the past week or so. If it seems I’m writing a little less, pray for me. If I seem to respond less to comments, pray for me.

It is a busy time of year for an Orthodox priest, with my parish coming first. I’m grateful to my associate priest at St. Anne for his help, and am confident that with your prayers I will soon be back to “full swing.”

May God bless you all! Glory to God for all things!

Father bless,

Be most assured of prayers, even from the still frozen North. Blessed Father Herman’s iron cross was so heavy, and the trees (!) he carried so heavy; strong as he was he must have understood back pain. I will pray to him, that he will pray for you – and what could be better than that?
