We’ve recently started going. My daughter asked me if we could go to church, and I started taking her to our local Catholic church. We just got back from our second Mass in two weeks.

I've noticed the priests from foreign lands like India have a much better grasp of what it means to be a Catholic and a Christian today. Sad.

Why is this sad? For decades, we sent missionaries to other countries. Today, the "fruit" of that labor has returned to re-evangelize us. My pastor is from Lebanon. Not only is he a priest, he is also a monk and a missionary. His homilies are all centered on Christ and are relevant to the times in which we live. I thank God for him each and every day. He is a beautiful gift to our community.
