St. Gregory's Abbey is hosting a Day of Reflection - A
Deeper Encounter with Christ from the Gospel of John on September 12, 2020. It will be presented by Fr. Sean O’Brien, a Priest of the Diocese of Tulsa.
The Gospel of John offers a unique presentation of the Gospel message, one that leads us to a deeper and more intimate encounter with the Lord. Through signs, through the indwelling of God within us, and through being witnesses of Christ’s glorification, we are drawn into union with the Lord, the giver of Life. This will be a day of deep prayer and an introduction for a fruitful reading of the Gospel of John.
To register, e-mail [email protected] or call (405) 878-
5656. Cost is $30 (early bird) or $35 at the door. Lunch is included. Pre-registration is required. The day begins at 8:30 a.m. with Mass in the Abbey Church and ends around 3:00 after adoration.
Dear Community of St. Mary’s,
It is incredible the time I’ve spent here with you. This
is the last note that I am writing to you, and as I do
this, many memories, people, stories come to my
mind. It looks like I arrived yesterday, but weeks have
passed.
Some seminarians get a summer assignment; this is a
program in which we are learning how is the life in a
parish. As a seminarian, I have been in many churches,
but this parish is more important than the others. It is
special because this was my last summer assignment
and my first one as an ordained minister.
I came here after my diaconate ordination, and I was
so excited and worried. I knew this experience was
going to be different from the others because I could
give some sacraments to the faithful. After a week of
my coming a funeral came, my first one, then I had to
assist for a wedding, and this past Sunday I had my
first baptism. As you can see, there are a lot of “my”
firsts, plus my first homilies.
When I look back, the only thing I see is grace
everywhere. The Lord has been so good with me, and
before I finish the bulletin I would like to say three
phrases. Thanks, sorry, and I love you.
First, Thanks for opening your hearts to the Lord and
being so kind to me. Your presence in the church has
nourished my faith. Every time I saw you in the
church you were so attentive, reverent, and polite.
Second, I am sorry, for the many mistakes I have
done. I also feel bad because I didn’t get the chance
to meet you more, every Mass I had I couldn’t stay to
greet you after them, and I am sorry that you have to
wear masks. Finally, I love you. As I said in the
beginning, this summer assignment is special because I
did my first sacraments at this church. Therefore, this
community will be in my prayers always, and the best
way to love you is in prayer. The last thing, please
pray for me as I continue in preparation for the Holy
Priesthood of Christ.
May God bless you,
In Christ,
