[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Those who love do not stand around doing nothing. Those who love serve. They hurry to reach others to serve in the name of Jesus. We love through our deeds and love makes us happy!

Late yesterday afternoon, Fr. Joe Pat Breen passed away at age 87 after an extended illness.  I anointed him and gave the Apostolic pardon last week during a grace-filled visit. 
We pray for the repose of Fr. Breen’s soul and the comfort and consolation of his family.
