Just created this blog. I do not know what to write about. Recently I was invited by my Religious Community's "Internet Communications Coordinator" to consider the possibility of "chronicling" the first 100 days since my presbyteral ordination. Oh, yes, I am a Roman Catholic priest - and newly ordained at that. I was ordained by His Excellency Donald James Reece, Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kingston in Jamaica last March 14, 2009. So it has been a month and four days since that blessed occasion. I cannot possibly write about all the events that have taken place since then but this much I can say: they have all been life-giving and grace-filled. And it's getting more exciting. I was asked by the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement (my religious community) to consider the possibility of serving and ministering in Yokohama, Japan. So, on Monday, April 20, I leave for Tokyo - a little anxious about the upcoming experience but graced as well knowing that there I shall meet the Risen Jesus in the faces of the people I shall be privileged to serve and work with.
Well, this is getting longer. I shall end it here. I hope this is/was a good start.
