“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
O to be perfect and to love so greatly that we will always find a kind way to speak!
Sometimes we simply mess-up. Yet always we seem to know when we have hurt another, especially when it is someone we love. We might try to erase it in our hearts by telling ourselves that the other deserved it, but that never truly makes us feel better about them or ourselves.
Eugene is a passionate man, and so he is a passionate founder, father, friend and bishop…, who dared to love greatly without restraints. I realise as I sit here at the knees of him, that I recognize some of his traits within myself. It is not an exercise of measurement or merit. Simply a recognition of some of the traits that we share. It should not be a surprise since I count myself as one of his daughters.
