“Hurry up!... Don’t be late!... Order now!” Those refrains have become as familiar as night and day in our culture. They are the hallmark of our impatient society, tired of waiting in line, fed up with traffic, sick of being just a number, or just bored with standing still. Yet the liturgical year has taught the Christian community otherwise: we know how to get ready for big feasts.
Hi. I’m Rick Fersch and for those of you who don’t know me, my wife Patti and I, along with our four grown children, are founding members of Christ Our Hope parish. Our oldest is a parishioner here with her family, and their two daughters made their First Holy Communion here – Ellie just last week.
Your have made known to us the path of life; you will fill us with joy in your presence. My friends, as we negotiate the often, ordinary and sometimes, vicarious pathways of our everyday lives, who accompanies us on this journey?
