Today marked the final day for me to attend Mass with Father Scott Morgan presiding. He’ll be here at St. John the Evangelist for a final sendoff Sunday, but we’ll be out of town moving our youngest into his new apartment in Grand Rapids.
It’s been a joy to watch Father Scott grow in his role here as parochial vicar and I have no doubt he will do a wonderful job at Our Lady of the Hills family of parishes. That growth is so evident in his homilies.
Today, on the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, he was noting some of John’s eccentricities, when he remarked (and I’m paraphrasing), “You don’t have to be crazy to live a life of faith, but you do need to be madly in love with our Lord and Savior.” I really liked that.
Best of luck, Father Scott.
