Father Nathan and Family
As most of you know, Father Nathan is currently a priest of the Eparchy of Parma on loan to our Eparchy and the Proto-Cathedral. The initial term was for one year, concluding November 1, 2021. We have received word that his bishop and our administrator have agreed that he will be assigned here at the Proto-Cathedral for at least one more year. Thanks be to God!
Acquiring Spiritual Friendships:
St. John tells us, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them” (1 John 2:15). So many of our friendships are with the world. St. Teresa of Avila offers the following guidelines for spiritual friendships, or friendships with God as the focus. Here are her suggestions on how to bring God’s love into our friendships
o 1. Attraction is not based merely on physical beauty or mere natural qualities
o 2. Friends find that they cannot be interested in anything unless it leads to God
o 3. Friendship is selfless
o 4. Friendship welcomes being admonished if we stray into the world or away from God
o 5. Friendship is permanent because it is based on He who does not change
o 6. Friendship must be experienced
“Daughter, be of good cheer! Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Our merciful Savior brought healing to the ill because he loves us all. By dedicating our lives to more prayer and devotion to him through a vocation to the priesthood, diaconate, and monastic lives, this healing can be extended to the world. Is this something that may be in store for your future? Contact the Vocations Office at 206-329-9219 or email: vocations@ephx.org
