Dear One

 

Sorry that I'm so late in sending you a Birthday Blessing

I guess it's because I follow you in 7 months

It certainly is a blessing when we come this far and still have friends,

in spite of our independence.

 

Your messages are so inspiring that I have used many in my own Homily. at

the Hermitage.

 

My prayers are always with you in your minestry,health and good fortune

 

Pax Christi

• Thank you for Birthday Blessings [1 Update]

 Thank you for Birthday Blessings

"Rev. Bob Johnnene OFD" <Mission_S...@msn.com> Nov 17 05:24AM -0800  

*I want to thank all the more than two hundred people who took the time to
send me Birthday greetings on my achieving the 77th year of God given live
by Email, on Facebook and Twitter. It was an awesome experience to know
that so many would send me Birthday blessings.*
 
*I have been so blessed by God who has taken me through 4 cancers and for
all the gifts he has blessed me with throughout all those years most
especially the gift of being able to now serve those who are so often
neglected, the elderly, poor, sick and during my early years of my life,
being able to teach young people of God’s infinite mercy and love and serve
in parish Faith communities.*
 
*I ask you to continue to pray for me and more especially for this ministry
as it is becoming extremely difficult to meet the needs of the ministry
since we do not receive donations enough to cover the average monthly
expences of approximately $375 without having extra expenses as we have had
during the last two months. We currently are short $225 to pay the
remainder of this month’s bills.*
 
*We are truly “Beggars for God” as the rule of St. Francis directs since
our only source of funds to maintain the mission come from donors. As
Matthew 5:3 says; “ “Blessed are the beggars in spirit! For the kingdom
of heaven belongs to them.” Since we do not have a “collection Plate at the
nursing homes we offer mass in and since most of those we serve are among
the poorest of the poor, we need donors to keep our ministry operating.*
 
*Please pray that God will inspire some to make donations so we do not have
to eliminate any of our ministry work.*
 
*I again thank all those who sent me the hundreds of Birthday blessings and
greetings because it made me realize that I am truly blessed to have so
many who would take the time to send greetings.*
 
*May God Bless all of you and may He fill your hearts with the glow of His
infinite mercy and love to sustain you through all life’s difficulties as
it has me.*
