Who is the guy in the habit?
“…I asked Chris what he had read recently that made a huge impact. ‘With Open Hands,’ he said immediately, ‘a book on prayer by Henri Nouwen…Nouwen writes that so many of us come at prayer with a clenched fist instead of an open hand. We want things, are asking for things, have an idea of exactly what we want God to do. But real prayer requires the unclenching of a closed fist – that we instead be open, silent, and receptive to God.’”
When you see Chris at church, please introduce yourself and congratulate him on taking his vows to the novitiate. He is a diamond in our midst.”

Upcoming Transition
“I will always hold you in my heart. But it is of utmost importance that I establish clear boundaries which allow my successor to create healthy and loving pastoral relationships with you. As I said during my address at the annual meeting, just as I need to let go of you, so you need to let go of me.”
