SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT -

Perhaps the greatest blessing I have been privileged to experience in my pastoral life is my years in campus ministry. These years have brought me into a continual flow of students and alumni who have stayed in touch with me and continue to give me life. When people comment to me that they think I look good at 82 years of age, I tell them I have a great team of taxidermists who keep stuffing me with love. In my “second favorite” ministry of itinerant preaching of parish missions and retreats around the USA, I have encountered pastors of parishes who mention previous experience as campus ministers with great affection.

It is an incredible experience to meet a student just beginning their college years with all the challenges that university life offers as a way to realize a dream to become a doctor, lawyer, teacher, engineer, etc., and to follow their path from undergraduate through graduate school.

There are also lessons to be learned outside the classroom. The two most important, in my opinion, are: Time Management and Relationships. These are linked with the freedom that comes with the undergrad years along with the disappointments and mistakes. Wisdom is hard-earned but comes with challenges. Discouragement can be hard to overcome.

I have seen my role change over the years from almost peer to parent-aged to, now, a kind of surrogate grandpa. Any grandparent can tell you the joy that can come with the role, and I am experiencing that now, even as I stay in touch with those who graduate and move into the mainstream of the working world. Love, encouragement, wisdom and affection are the stuff of grandparenthood. I hope to continue that as I transition now into life at Holy Rosary Priory in Houston, TX. Please pray for me! IT’S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

It Has Been Said

“Growing in intimacy involves risk, and we age badly when we stop taking risks, when we do not engage new experiences and make new discoveries, when we fail to draw down our own treasury of knowledge and skills. This means being vulnerable in the sense that vulnerability leads to growth. Especially growth in relation to old friends and new ones, to those we love. These too are our openings to God. It means acknowledging that we have not yet become the person God intended us to be, that we will be a work in progress until the last breath.”

From VESPER TIME - THE SPIRITUAL PRACTICE OF GROWING OLDER by Frank J. Cunningham
