You fulfilled the role of extraordinary Eucharistic minister quite admirably.
Thank you for everything you did.
Thank you for your kind words. At the time, in Uzbekistan, I felt blessed to preach to my fellow soldiers in my humble way from the weekly readings of the Word of God.
I also had the pleasure of seeing two of our local interpreters, two Muslim Uzbek women, heading to the chapel tent for Christian worship. They later informed me by email that they had become Christians. Our U.S. camp was there for only four years 2001-2005. What a blessing to know that our Christian presence had such good effect.
A Eucharistic Minister is a validly ordained Priest, only.
