And here's an audio file and a video of a priest offering reflections.

I regret that this year I have been especially busy and unable to find the time to write down as many reflections as I had hoped. Over the past week, lots of challenges arose related to unexpected visits to nursing homes. Today was filled with both good times and hard realities in the visits. Happy to play songs for twently people, and hard to watch a dear friend on the final lap of his life's journey. I am reminded to keep my eyes on the prize and ask for more help to be a good worker in the Lord's vineyard.
