Remembering today the 5th anniversary of the death of a good friend,Fr Michael Sepp…we miss and love you Father but we know you are with us and interceding for us all!
"When I was told I had cancer, I accepted the disease, I even accepted the fact that I would die but I could not accept the idea to suffer. Our bodies are so reluctant when facing suffering! These past few months, I have however understood that I have to embrace suffering as well. For if I want to live compassion until the end with Christ and all those who suffer, I must accept the suffering. Today, I say «yes». It is certainly painful for my body but my heart and my spirit both say «yes» (…) I have been asking God for a special grace on the twenty-five-year-old anniversary of my ordination. Here it is! I thank God because if I am to keep living, this disease would have made me closer to God and a better priest. And if I die, then I’ll die a better priest!»
