Fr. Williiam Doyle, S.J.

I cannot remember if I wrote to you about Fr. William Doyle, S.J. after reading his biography, Merry in God. It took me almost a year to read that book, but it made a great impression upon me. I found another blog, Remembering Fr William Doyle SJ which continues to post a daily meditation from Fr. Doyle's writings. I pass along to you a free download from that blogger for your Holy Week meditations. I am grateful for all of the work which PK has done to promote Father's cause. Pray for me this Holy Week, particularly over the next few days as I approach the sacrament of confession. The best description of my feelings this pas week-end has been a cross between ballistic and hysterical. But then, feelings are feelings, and I have received some wonderful moments of grace through it all, and the love and prayers of my "pew mates" and my husband to carry me through.

While I am at it, I also give a public thank you to the writers of the devotionals for 40 Days for Life (www.40daysforlife.com). You, along with those who walk the sidewalks of east St. Cloud in front of the Planned Parenthood Clinic there, have taught me a great deal about patience, long-suffering, compassion, and mercy. Thank you!
