Dear St. Robert’s parishioners and friends,
Happy All Saints’ Day and a Blessed All Souls’ Day!
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.” (unknown)
“All along your life, people come and go. Some hurt you, some make you smile, but each one of them leaves something of theirs with us. The new lessons they teach us, the new aspects of life they show us, making us better equipped to face the world- much stronger.” (unknown)
Indeed, some people come, some people go. People lose, people gain. I lost some hair, but I gained some face. I said goodbye to the ‘vertical growth’ of my body many years ago. Now I keep saying hello to my ‘horizontal growth.’ I tried hard to say goodbye to my tummy, but we are just so attached.
Let go of those extra calories in your bodies and gain some spiritual calories by attaching yourself always to Christ.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Fr. Arnold
