From the Desk of the Priest in Charge

Dear Friends in Christ,
On November 19, I will be leading a seminar for the diocese of Delaware's Parish Life Day. When I agreed to do this, it was in a weak moment. As the time grows nearer I am having a great deal of angst. I am to lead a discussion on what we do with our resources. One of my friends told me all I had to do is know what someone's net worth is. He then proceeded to lead me through his own assets and liabilities. It is simple. Take what you have against what you owe and that is your net worth. He came up with a seven figure number which was quite remarkable.

Having finished I asked, in my naivete, what he thought the net worth of his darling granddaughter might be. He said that she was different and that there was no worth that could be put on her. I am not sure he got my point but the truth of the matter is that a person's net worth is not measured in dollars and cents but in the love which is bestowed upon them. For you and me our net worth is not what we own but in the love which is bestowed upon us. Ultimately our net worth is not in the things we have but that He finds us worthy of His love. So worthy to Him that He sent His Son into the world to save us. Read in your bible John chapter 3 verse 16.

In Christ,
