Rest in Peace Father, I really enjoyed your shows.
Used to watch when I had EWTN.
Lord, receive Father Groeschel into thy presence. Amen.
God rest his soul.
God rest his soul. Absolutely love Father Groeschel. Smart, witty, tough, loving and a bit mischievous, his show and his writings are treasures in my life.
RIP. Remember serving as an altar boy many times with him growing up in NY. He was a presence to be sure.
RIP Fr. Benedict Groeschel ping ...
What a loss to mankind.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is something that I’m sure Father Groeschel partook of.
AMEN.
RIP.
Of course he did.
I vividly remember Jesus' words:
John 8 New International Version (NIV)
=============================================
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
=============================================
That was such a powerful example. We ALL need forgiveness.
Amen!
Amen.
Amen! The timing is significant!
Thank you, Father, for all you did.
Rest in peace.
