[Parish] Wonderful Generosity

[Malcolm Young]

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I usually try to refrain from filling up your inboxes with too much church mail, but I can't help myself this afternoon.  We've just finished counting the checks for GAIA and so far we've received $4,500.  This is extraordinary generosity from a very faithful group of people who really stretched hard in giving to help people in Africa.

If you weren't able to participate today, let me know what you'd like to give.

God bless you all.  You are an example of faith that inspires me every week.

Love,

Malcolm

PS:  Here's a little reading from that remarkable saint Julian of Norwich:

"And when we have fallen, through frailty or blindness, then our courteous Lord touches us, stirs and calls us... Wonderful and splendid is the place where the Lord lives.  And therefore it is his will that we turn quickly at his gracious touch, rejoicing more in the fullness of his love than sorrowing over our frequent failures.
