This morning this young man does what his time in seminary was preparing him to do, and what for the rest of his life will be the primary activity of his ministry.

He takes bread, he raises his eyes to heaven, he breaks the bread, he blesses it, he eats the bread and he distributes it among us. And the bread that he will bless will be for us the true body of our Lord.

He could do the work of any grown man by the time he was in the eighth grade.

This guy is lethal. The man hits the ball in, away, up, down. You name it. He is up for the challenge every night.

What is a highbrow? He is a man who has found something more interesting than women

It was the most difficult decision I've ever had to make, because I truly like and admire the man.
