They might think they can't do much anymore, but their presence there despite all the sorrow and pain that can come with advanced age is such a comfort to me.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-76209296056812794132010-11-21T21:30:54.875-06:002010-11-21T21:30:54.875-06:00In my vicarage congregation was a 100 year old par...In my vicarage congregation was a 100 year old parishioner, who lived by himself for part of the year that I was there. He faithfully came to church every Sunday. Being 100, he was not as spry as in his younger years. But every time the sacrament was offered, he was there. He would come from his seat in the back of the nave, and shuffle forward. I don't think that one foot ever made it in front of the other, but he slowly, surely, and steadily came forward. The Lord invited him to come to the table. He wasn't going to tell the Lord no.<br /><br />JeremyJeremy Loeschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089904111110332096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-58859700228854532022010-11-21T21:21:17.517-06:002010-11-21T21:21:17.517-06:00One of the dynamics in the pastor and

It becomes a two-way<br />street, the parishioner learns<br />spiritual truths from the pastor and<br />the pastor learns spiritual truths<br />from the parishioner. In this way<br />everyone is learning on their journey<br />from earth to heaven. May the Lord<br />continue to bless your parish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
