    Thank you father Duffy you open up my heart and I still live in Lakeland Florida and I lost my husband Leeroy with stage 4 cancer and he passed away on October 14th at 1:12 in the afternoon by the double windows in the living room. Please could you please remember Gilbert Megan William and Melissa and Teresa and Jared and the grandkids in prayer. GOD knows and thank you GOD bless you!

      So sorry, Sheila, that you lost your dear, Leroy. I’ll keep you and all your family, children and grandchildren, in my prayers. Lakeland was my first parish when I arrived in the U. S. fifty one years ago, and the memories I have of that time are precious. Love.

    Thank you Fr. Duffy for this sharing. Indeed God works through us and there’s joy in doing the little ordinary things whole heartedly. May God continue working through you and I pray that He continues to work through me too🙏🏾. Blessings.

      “Doing ordinary little things wholeheartedly,” Denise, is the secret hidden in plain sight. How the world would be different if people could return to that!

    Hugo, lovely stories, especially the businessman and the blind child. I’m sure that happening changed his life.

      Hi, Keith. I’ve been watching, on the news, about the floods and bad weather in New Jersey. Hope you and family are safe, especially Emily who needs the faith of the mustard seed everyday on her way to work.

    I love this parable and the way you explain it Fr. Hugh. Trying to cultivate and live these qualities is a challenge. I like the idea of practicing these qualities (gentleness, kindness to all) little by little each day in small interactions, like the woman in your parish.

      Yes, Ann. Little acts of kindness are not little. They’re of the essence.
