Christopher Marsh has had an amazing year so far. After completing the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults during Lent, he became a Catholic at the Easter Vigil Mass at St Catherine of Siena Church in Portage, MI. On May 29, after many years of heart issues, he successfully underwent heart transplant surgery at Corewell Health Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI.
Just seven weeks later, on July 19, he went through the Knights of Columbus Exemplification Ceremony and is now a proud member of St Catherine of Siena Council 6980 in Portage, MI.
In this Sunday's first reading, Solomon receives a great gift—wisdom. But just because God gives us the capacity to do His will does not mean we'll always follow it. And Solomon is a perfect example of that. We'll review his story and its lessons plus the importance of treating our salvation like a treasure or pearl of great price in this week's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad
