Never-Forgotten Kindness

"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience..."
~ Colossians 3:12

Yesterday marked 17 years since my grandmother passed away.  And as fate would have it, I had dinner last night with one of the priests who concelebrated her funeral Mass.  I had no idea that this priest, a former colleague of mine, would be participating in my grandmother's Mass.  I still remember arriving at the church entrance all those years ago and seeing the three priests who also had concelebrated my wedding.  To have the three of them accompany me again at another major life moment was very meaningful to me.  The priest with whom I had dinner last night moved away 16 years ago and we had not seen each other since.  We had a great time catching up and I told him how very much that kindness still meant to me.
