pass the baton
Last night we attended mass at St. Andrew's Church in Elk River to support friends who are mourning the death of their daughter; her 18th birthday was yesterday. In his homily, Rev. Korf talked about our obligation to pass the baton of our faith to younger generations. Let us do so! Afterward, with many of her friends, we released orange balloons (Kristin's favorite color) filled with personal notes & birthday messages and watched them rise to heaven and float toward the sunset. I wonder where they are now -- have they come back to earth?I called to the Lord in my distress;
God answered and freed me.
Psalm 118:5 (Grail translation)
