How to Dance in the Rain It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an ap-pointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour be-fore someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzhei-mer's disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?' He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.' I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, that is the kind of love I want in my life. True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. "Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain."

OK, Brothers. Here's the article I "teased" you with at the last meeting. Thanks for taking the time to read it. When you finish reading it, please take just another minute to talk to your real best friend and Heavenly Father; in your own words, just to keep the lines of communication open. Thanks, John
If this is the way you will deal with me, then please do me the favor of killing me at
once, so that I need no longer face this distress. (Numbers 11:15)
If you were to read this quote on its own and tried to guess who said it, chances
are you wouldn’t think it was Moses. He was a holy hero of the Old Testament; he
received the Ten Commandments and saw God face-to-face. He would never dare
to speak so disrespectfully to the Lord! But don’t forget, Moses was called a
“friend” of God (Exodus 33:11). And with friends, you feel free to speak your mind.
Moses showed no pretense. He didn’t put on an act. So when the people were com-
plaining and Moses was at the end of his rope, he told God so. He understood God
knew him inside and out, so what was the point of putting on a façade? Moses
knew he couldn’t handle the people’s problems himself. So he confidently poured
out his feelings to God, as he would to any friend. And because he spoke so freely,
God was able to help him.
Now, that doesn’t mean we should spend all of our prayer time complaining or re-
hashing the negative! One good way to find that “sweet spot” between honesty and
whining is to consider Psalm 13. David is frustrated with God, feeling cut off from
the Lord; but in the end, he finishes with a statement of faith: “How long, Lord?
Will you utterly forget me? … But I trust in your mercy. Grant my heart joy in your
salvation” (Psalm 13:1, 6). Even if you feel that your faith is weak, tell the Lord that
you still believe in him. Just think how pleased he is when you lean on him, even in
the midst of struggle!
So if you’re frustrated, let God know. If you’re annoyed, don’t try to hide it from
him. If you’re happy, share your joy. But if you’re at the end of your rope, tell him.
Let go, and trust him to catch you! No matter what your situation is, your best
friend listens patiently as you sift through the contents of your heart.
“Thank you, heavenly Father, for your faithfulness, as I sit with you and pour out my
heart.”

GETTING TO KNOW OUR CHAPLAIN... Father Daniel Kavanagh, a 4th Degree Knight, was born in 1986 to Laura and Jeff Kavanagh of Toronto Canada. Father Kavanagh has 2 younger sisters, Stephanie who resides in Washington D.C, and Jill who lives in St. Louis. Father Kavanagh's parents now reside in Washington, MO. Father attended a public elementary and high school. He then went to a Catholic Liberal Arts College in Canada. After college he worked as a Physician Recruiter for a private contractor with the U.S. Military. He entered Kenrick Seminary in the Fall of 2009 and was ordained at the St. Louis Basilica in May 2015. Why did he decide to enter the priesthood? Father Kavanagh realized that attending daily mass was the most paramount part of his day even better than going to work. This led him to inquire about attending the seminary. What does he like about being a priest? It allows him to bring Christ to people thru the sacraments, teaching and preaching. Father enjoys bringing our faith into real life situations. What do you like about your assignment at St. Alban Roe? I am amazed and pleased at all the vibrant organizations and people at this parish. What are your hobbies? Watching sports, hiking trails in St. Louis County and Washington, MO, traveling to new/different places. What are your favorite foods?
