Seminarian Retreat @ Loretto Motherhouse

I am witing this post-night prayer, grateful for the blessings of this day and the gift to our Archdiocese of our seminarians. We have begun our "End of Summer" Retreat and I was particularly struck today by the goodness of these guys.
I was not struck by their perfection (not even close), but by their goodness. They are generous, compasionate, humorous, genuine, grounded, and striving to follow God. I'll say it again. They are a gift to our Archdiocese. Thanks be to God.
