| Spiritual Bouquet from my fellow seminarians |
I got back to my room this afternoon after a tiring day
zipping around the Vatican, and there beneath my door was a gift from my fellow
seminarians. It was a “spiritual bouquet”. They put together all the spiritual
gifts they could as one big gift for my upcoming ordination, including 225
masses, 240 holy communions, 282 visits to Mary, 282 visits to Christ in the
Eucharist, 298 sacrifices, 351 hours of study(probably the hardest!), 182 hours
of Eucharistic adoration, and 284 acts of charity. That’s quite some gift!
The amazing thing is that yesterday I was having one of
those harder days, you know, like when you kind of wonder how you’ll make it
through. And then all of a sudden I had the strength to do what I needed to do,
even though it wasn’t like the strength came from me.
It must have been those prayers and sacrifices, and the
prayers and sacrifices of anyone out there who’s praying for me and my brother
soon-to-be deacons. It’s such a gift to be part of a band of brothers like
this, and to have so many friends pulling for you!
Thank you! And God bless you!
Brother Kevin
