Happy Birthday, Donna Marie, from the Isle of Saints and Scholars!
I didn't think I would have the opportunity to wish my sister a happy birthday in this way, but as things worked out, the flight from Dublin to Knock was canceled, and the airport has internet! There will be a flight to Galway and a coach from Galway to Knock.
We should be arriving in Knock at about 9:30 or 10:00 tonight. I am glad that I celebrated Holy Mass this morning before leaving Rome. I hope stroll down to the shrine tonight to see if the gable of the apparition is illuminated.
His Excellency, the Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live in adoration before the Most
Blessed Sacrament, in a spirit of thanksgiving and intercession, that he
might make reparation before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. At the same time, he is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental
support in their pursuit of holiness.
