Wednesday, May 1st
Today is the Feast of Saint
Philip and Saint James, Apostles, and the 12th anniversary of my
ordination to the Diaconate. I wanted to celebrate the day by visiting
with Father Brennan.
He is most assuredly happy to be back at Nazareth House. He remains in the Special Care unit and was in a group where the leader was telling stories...I couldn't tell about what. One of the aides was kind enough to wheel him out into the hallway so we could have a brief visit. I asked him about the wheel chair and if he was walking and apparently he is not able to walk on his own at this time.
I asked him how he was doing and he replied "not so good". I asked him to explain and he said it was hard for him to put it into words. He asked me how I was doing. That was touching. He was a bit more conversational than when I last saw him two weeks ago. He does speak very softly, just above a whisper.
We prayed together and I gave him a blessing. It was an all too short visit. He very much appreciates the prayers offered on his behalf and the love and support. Visits uplift his spirit.
