What a beautiful reflection on parenthood. I would love to get a copy and share it with my married children.
I use an iPad for the forum- so I then went to the iPhone and took a screen shot. I hope it will work and I will be able to make copies
We received the recording of our service today which can be viewed or downloaded ..link below https://www.churchservices.tv/stpeterscathedral/archive/uploads/O37N1aMjmBbWmpn My eldest daughter Eileen played the flute.
Her rendition of Ave Maria is beautiful and kind of haunting in a good way. Thanks for sharing. You are blessed.
I know the mic was quite low at the end of our service but I hope you can hear what I am saying...Fr Graham celebrated 25 years as a priest in July this year and my wife and I wanted to celebrate our day with him by marking his occasion,,, last year when he was visiting for dinner he and I got into the conversation of how we would like to spend eternity he remarked that when he dies he will request to be allowed to visit every star in the heavens, so I decided to buy him a star as a gift but Therese also had a plan the start I bought and named Fr Graham is in the constellation orion I knew that when I bought this star but I had no control of where it would be,,Therese picked the star for sure its directly above orions belt the very place where her initial is formed T its what she seen in the sky as a child and proclaimed to her father "how great was God he initialled my name in the sky" so when you look at the sky and see the T of therese directly above the T is a star called Fr Martin Graham
Well, I don't know how I managed to miss this thread, John; better late than never. It is special to have a visual not only of you, but your family. Even more special to know you found a good confessor and witness for your God-pleasing renewal.
Looking forward to your 50th. It reminds me of the Patriarchs in Scripture. No wonder Satan is trying to destroy all this. How he must hate it.
Just viewed your video: so appropriate and touching, even the thoughtful gift for the reverend. I have just a slight twinge of jealousy. When Geralyn and I renewed our vows in honor of our 40th this past August 6th in the presence of Father Francis, none of our children were there (so many miles of separation). On the other hand, perhaps Our Lady provided ringside seats for Nathan and Elizabeth whom we lost through miscarriage. I am so pleased to have viewed yours and will show Geralyn when she gets home. May the Holy Family watch over you and yours, and I pray a rose fall from the hand of Therese on the behalf of you and Sinead.
Thank you Terry Fr Graham was wearing the most beautiful cope I have ever seen which he chose for our service it was cloth of silver and had Our Ladys cypher on the back, Mother was proud
Beautiful John! What a talented handsome loving family you have. True riches. God has blessed you abundantly.. How lovely it all was. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
