Thank you so much for all of the prayers and well-wishes on my 50th anniversary of priesthood! I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of mail!
I would have preferred to speak with each of you in person, but the passage of time and a diminished level of energy has made it a task beyond my ability. So let me say this:
Truly, you have made my journey easy and my burdens light. Thank you for your companionship along the way. I have met the face of Jesus Christ in each person I have been privileged to serve.
Yours in Christ,
