Pastor’s Corner
"Just like a great joy, so too illness and suffering can be a very personal Advent of one’s own—a visit by the God who enters my life and wants to encounter me personally. Even when it is difficult for us, we should at least try to understand the days of our illness in this way: The Lord has inter-rupted my activity for a time in order to let me be still." - Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
